Explanation:
Toisessa linkissä kuvataan k-piikillä tehtyä fiksaatiota suomeksi. Englanniksi löytyy sitten googlella vaikka miten paljon tietoa.

Tuli tähän aiheeseen liittyvä käännös ja löysin tämän linkin

http://www.soy.fi/sot-lehti/2-2002/58.pdf

Linkissä mainitaan Kirschner-pin-fiksaatio.

Myös tässä

http://www.ft-opiskelijat.arkku.net/materiaali/KIRU, Trauma.... leikkaushoito

mainitaan sekä piikki- että lankafiksaatio (k-wire).

Eli oikea termi k-piikille on

k-pin fixation.
