Comorbidities and the Deleterious Effects of the “Old Process”
Due to the circumferential nature of the compressive wound dressing process used during the traditional method of external fixation pin site care, the risk of a "tourniquet type syndrome" could occur. In this syndrome: numbness, paresthesias , increased swelling, decreased limb perfusion, skin breakdown and ulcer formation are potential deleterious effects of the "old process".
Comorbidities:
-Peripheral Vascular Disease
-Diabetes
-Coagulopathy
-Lymph Edema
-Peripheral Neuropathy
