Significantly displaced paediatric distal radius and ulna fractures which occur at the meta-diaphyseal junction frequently require surgical fixation due to the highly unstable configuration. The location of the fracture is often too proximal for transfixing with K-wires and too distal for intra-medullary TEN (titanium elastic nailing). We describe a simple cost-effective technique to stabilise such an injury using a readily available 2mm stainless steel kirschner-wire.
