Dressing after frame removal
« 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?
