RESUMEN
Transverse divisions of the mid-shaft of freshly frozen pig metacarpals were fixed with Kirschner wires of two sizes and using four different configurations. Compared to the usual cross-pin fixation using wires of 0.889 mm. four wires (0.712 mm) eccentrically placed and with their ends hooked provided a 300% improvement in bending rigidity and 170% in bending movement.
