Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Wound Healing

Background:

  • Skin blistering is a known complication of high-energy trauma and large joint arthroplasties.
  • Blistering following elective wrist surgery is infrequently reported.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report and analyze cases of skin blistering after elective wrist surgery.
  • To identify potential contributing factors and recommend management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Case series presentation of three patients undergoing elective wrist surgery.
  • Documentation of surgical procedures, patient demographics, and post-operative blistering.
  • Clinical observation and management of blistering complications.

Main Results:

  • Three patients (18-53 years) developed clear skin blisters post-elective wrist surgery (total wrist fusion, carpometacarpal fusion, ligament repair).
  • Patients reported burning pain; blisters resolved without infection or long-term complications with dressing changes.
  • Likely contributing factors included swelling, dressing/splint compression, multiple incisions, and adhesive dressings.

Conclusions:

  • Clear skin blistering is a rare but manageable complication of elective wrist surgery.
  • A combination of surgical and post-operative factors may contribute to blister formation.
  • Proper wound care and patient reassurance are key to successful resolution without sequelae.
