Comparison of povidone-iodine solution and soft white paraffin ointment in the management of skeletal pin-sites: A pilot study

The use of an antibacterial agent in the management of skeletal pin-sites reduces the likelihood of infection. Further studies are needed to determine whether anatomical position of the pin-site is a risk factor for the development of pin-site infection and whether intervention could reduce inflammation/infection at medial lower limb pin-sites.
