Abstract:
Objective To discuss influence of different disinfection solution on infection and pain of puncture hole in patients with open fracture of both tibia and fibula treated with external fixation.Methods 41 patients were divided into group A(21 cases)and group B(20 cases).Group A adopted 75% ethanol to sterilize the puncture holes.While the group B used 5%iodide instead.The incidence of infection and pain of puncture holes was observed separately at the 1st week,6th week after operation and removing of fixation pin.Results The incidence of infection of puncture holes was not apparently different from each other(P>0.05)at any other time points.The incidence of paint in group B was lower than group A at the 1st week and 6th week after operation(P<0.05).The incidence of pain was higher in patients with puncture hole infection than those without puncture hole infection(P<0.01).Conclusion No difference was seen in puncture hole infection with either 75% ethanol or 5% iodide.Infection of puncture hole was correlated with pain only at the 1st week after operation.Pain could be alleviated with application of 5% iodide.
