Introduction: Lower end radius fractures are one of the most common fractures that we deal with in the Department. Almost one-third of the cases in here are these. Elderly patients are more commonly involved in these fractures. The mode of treatment depends upon many factors. But the commonest employed is the K-Wire fixation. But we found that in the elderly population the rate of infections was higher. So this study puts in a sincere effort to find the pattern in the above-mentioned cases. Objectives: To find the incidence of skin infections following the percutaneous k wire fixation of distal radius fractures in the elderly. Methods: Seventy-three patients were taken as the sample size for the study. Out of these forty one were male and the rest were females. A careful history of the subjects was taken. Co-morbidities and other conditions if any were noted. Results: Staph aureus was found to be the most common pathogen which was involved. And the incidence was more observed in females. Conclusion: With proper and timely management we can save the patient from unnecessary complications. But one has to be vigilant and know these facts.
