Complications There is lack of evidence on best method of pinsite dressing to prevent surgical site infections   .
Complications 1.Damage to soft-tissue structures - Transfixing pins or wires may injure nerves or vessels, or may tether ligaments and inhibit joint movement. The surgeon must be thoroughly familiar with the cross-sectional anatomy before operating. 2. Overdistraction - If there is no contact between the fragments, bone union is unlikely to occur. 3. Pin-track infection - This is less likely with good operative technique. Nevertheless, meticulous pinsite care is essential to avoid infection .
