K-wire is used for which of the following procedures?

K-wire is commonly used in orthopedic procedures for various purposes such as fixation of fractures, joint fusions, and correction of deformities. It provides stability and support to the bone while it heals. The other options, such as aeration, ultrasonic cleaners, and prevacuum, do not involve the use of K-wires in their respective procedures.
