Combined use of Kirschner wires and hinged external fixator for capitellar and trochlear fractures: a minimum 24 ‐month follow‐up

However, due to the absence of a control group (such as Herbert screw fixation), comparative studies are still needed to demonstrate the safety and reliability of K‐wires for fixation.
