Wound Closure (Allgower) Versus Secondary Open Wound Healing After Removal of the External Fixator

In this prospective randomized controlled single-center trial, based on a non-inferiority design, the outcome of the treatment of patients are analyzed, whereas in half of the cases the wounds are left open and the other ones are primary wound closed after local debridement after Fixator-Extern is removed. Although this topic embodies a daily business, there is no standard to be found in literature regarding the treatment of pin sites with closure by either primary or secondary intent.
