A percutaneous fracture refers to a bone fracture that is treated using a minimally invasive surgical technique called percutaneous fixation. This method typically involves the insertion of screws or pins through the skin and into the bone without the need for large incisions. It is commonly used to stabilize fractures while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This approach can lead to shorter recovery times and reduced postoperative complications.

Percutaneous skeletal fixation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat fractures by stabilizing bones with implants inserted through the skin. It involves the placement of screws, wires, or pins directly into the bone using guidance techniques such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound. This technique reduces the need for large incisions and promotes faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
