How Many Days Of Dressing Is Required After ORIF In Tibia?
Dear Sir,
My nephew had met with an RTA on 02.08.2013 and he had undergone ORIF with plates in Tibia and skin grafting on the same date and would like to know after how many days dressing should be done after operation. And when plastic surgeon should visit him again being an Indoor Patient.
Regards and Thanks,
Dr. Chander Mohan

I am not getting it. Your nephew was operated in august and since then dressing is going on? Is he infected. I routine case there is only one or two dressing done.One on 5th day and other on 14th day, and suture can be removed that time. If it is infected then dressing is needed till there is pus discharge present.
