Knowles Pins are smooth or slightly threaded stainless steel implants used for internal fixation, particularly in pediatric and adolescent orthopedic cases. Their design allows easy insertion with minimal soft tissue disruption, making them suitable for growth-sensitive procedures.
Indications:
- Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)
- Femoral Neck fractures in children and adolescents
- Temporary or definitive fixation in small bone fractures
- Epiphyseal injuries requiring stable but less rigid fixation
- Fixation in minimally invasive pediatric orthopedic procedures
