Percutaneous method for a proximal pole fracture. (A) Demarcation of the proximal pole for guidewire entry (a needle may be used for assistance); (B) guidewire introduction; (C) passing of the dorsal guidewire from dorsal to volar, so that wrist flexion occurs, facilitating screw placement; (D) lateral radiographic image of the guidewire already positioned; (E) anteroposterior radiographic image; (F) drilling of the proximal pole; (G) placement of the dorsal screw from dorsal to volar on a lateral image; (H) end of screw placement on anteroposterior (I) and lateral images; (J) dressing and elastic bandage.
