Abstract
This paper presents the Royal Stoke University Hospital pin-site care protocol. It has evolved during 25 years of fracture management research at the centre and has been developed in accordance with the RCN Consensus Guidelines on Pin-Site Care. However, it contains some innovative adjuncts that could minimise the incidence of pin-site infections requiring medicinal intervention. Scope for research on dressing type and cleansing solutions still remains. However, this article presents the importance of patient education and dressing compression in the prevention of irritation around the pin-site, thus reducing the risk of developing any infection.
