This part of ISO5838 specifies the dimensions of Steinmann skeletal pins. Material and mechanical requirements are covered by ISO5838-1.

NOTE1 Attention is drawn to the possible need for different designs of points depending on such factors as the method of insertion, and the site of insertion, i.e. whether the bone is cancellous or cortical.
