Non-operative treatment was adopted initially. b Fracture displaced after two weeks of conservative treatment. c Immediate post operative X-ray showing reduced fracture. Tip of distal Kirshner wire was close to fracture site. Additional Kirshner wire was used to get secure cortical purchase. d All three Kirshner wires backed out at six weeks. Fracture is not yet united but the figure-eight suture still maintains the reduction. e Well reduced and united fracture at six-months follow-up
