If any difference is found between the two techniques then, we will quantify and qualify those differences. The incidence of pin site infection and pin loosening in general will be determined and will also be stratified for site and size of pin. An attempt to identify risk factors for pin site infection will be made by observing the effect of secondary prognostic factors like mode of injury, diabetes, smoking, compartment syndrome, peripheral vascular disease, neurovascular injury. Interobserver reliability of the grading system for pin infection will also be determined.
