Protocols for the care of external fixator pin sites
Professional Nurse (London, England)

Abstract:
Pin site care methods used in the UK are based on doctor/nurse preference rather than research. There is a diversity of opinion regarding the best method of pin site care, and no standardised classification of pin site problems. There is a need for further research, either a multi-centre trial or in units with a high volume of work.
