Abstract
Refracture of the radius through a pin site after the removal of pins and plaster or an external fixator for Colles fracture is rarely mentioned in the literature. We present the details of three such cases and review two others reported in the literature. Our aim is to alert orthopedists to the potential for this complication. Patients with superficial or deep pin tract infections appear to be at greater risk.
