not sure about when have infection... but im guessing yes to that as welll


but showering with fixators on is usually highly recommended

I never took a shower and never got a pin infection.  Yeah, the sample size is 1 but I think keeping moisture to a minimum is for the best, that's why I refused to shower the whole time I was there.

@Medium Drink Of Water! How long time did you have the fixators on your legs?

taking showers with the fixators is recommended by dr rozbruch,...

in russia or india, they do things differently, but in  non third world nations,  showering is not discouraged

i didnt take a shower  based on  bagirov's advice... i  definitely had multiple pinsite infections

id say 99% of people will get a pinsite infection.... showering is recommended by the top drs
