Abstract
A model simulating intraosseous wire fixation was used to assess different methods of securing wire loops. Square knotting, twisting, and a new method, the "knot twist," were assessed. The importance of anchoring the butt ends of twisted wire is emphasized. A new, convenient technique of wire fixation is described.
