Surgical pin fasteners are specialized medical devices utilized in orthopedic and trauma surgery to provide stabilization and support for fractured bones. Made from biocompatible materials like stainless steel or titanium, these pins come in various shapes, including straight, threaded, or those with specialized tips. Commonly used for fracture fixation, surgical pins are inserted into bone fragments to aid alignment and promote healing. They are also employed in external fixation devices that stabilize fractures externally with pins extending through the skin. Surgical pins may serve in bone fusion procedures, either temporarily or permanently, with advancements in minimally invasive techniques allowing for smaller diameter pins. The selection of surgical pins depends on biomechanical considerations, fracture type, and the specific clinical requirements of the procedure. Surgical pin placement requires specialized medical expertise and plays a vital role in promoting the stability and recovery of bone injuries.
