Title: Dressing after frame removal
Post by: doomsday on August 11, 2017, 12:28:59 PM

Hi guys.
Just a quick question. How long did you wear a  dressing on your leg after frame removal? The nurse told me to keep it for 7 days but that's seems pretty long and i feel they are being cautious.

So like any small laceration that requires stitches. 48 hours covered and then thread removal in 7 - 10 days?

there are no stitches just holes after thick half pins that need to close ;)
