What Are Steinmann Pins?
Surgical pins have a lengthy list of applications in orthopedics. Surgeons combine them with other instruments like steel plates and rods to connect bone fractures and initiate the time-consuming healing process. Doctors use Steinmann pins to treat skeletal breaks and fractures, and these pins are highly similar to Kirschner pins. The main differences between them are that Steinmann pins come in bigger diameter sizes, and their tips can appear arched or round.
Surgeons have been using these pins since Fritz Steinmann invented them in 1908 — they’re common in various orthopedic procedures. Manufacturers have since improved the design and developed different tips.
The Necessity of Steinmann Pins
Steinmann pins are vital in ensuring bones knit together properly, providing full mobility to the patient. They allow traumatic fractures to recover by aligning the bones again. Surgeons can place them in sensitive areas without compromising the surrounding tissue. They also assist during bone augmentation and compaction orthopedic procedures. Manufacturers can adapt them for permanent or temporary use depending on the injury and patients’ needs.
