Hi Bernie, Yes I’m afraid that no matter how careful you are, infections will occur. It’s one of those things when you have what is essentially, a number of open wound sites. The infections were without doubt the worst part of the whole process but it is worth it in the end!

Hi reading your story,I’ve had the same opp on my left lower leg which was lengthen and straighten and have had pin site infections the same as you have,I’ve been on and off antibiotics now fro seven months and pain when I move or put pressure on my leg, I have been taking excellent care with pin cleaning and dressings,hopefully this frame should come off by April its been a night mare, the surgeons who worked on my leg in Swansea were great, but I guess its one of those problems that can’t be helped Regards!
