Planning
Frontal and lateral projections.
Post-operative evaluation
The pins should be at least 2 cm apart on frontal projection, and have <10° angle compared to each other.
Support points
For proper support, both pins should have support by the subchondral plate and the lateral cortex. In addition, the middle of the inferior pin should be supported by the medial cortex, and the middle of the posterior pin should have support from the medial cortex, with less than <5 mm distance from subchondral bone.[1]
Fracture alignment
"No misalignment" means:[1]
- Dislocation of less than 2 mm
- 0-15° valgus
- Dorsal tilt of <10°
Report
Example: Inserted Hansson pins have proper positions. No fracture misalignment.
