Description
Pinned kneecap fracture. Frontal X-ray of a section through the knee of a 19-year-old patient, showing surgical pins and wire (white) being used to fix a fracture of the kneecap (patella), following a traumatic injury. The pins and wire are used to hold the bone fragments in the correct position while they heal.
