Pin site crustsMcKenzie (1999) stated that the
issue of whether or not to remove pin site crusts
was just as confusing as the choice of which
cleaning solution to use. Many authors advocate
leaving the crusts in place (Trigueiro 1983, Paley
and Jackson 1985, Sproles 1985) whereas
Celeste et al (1984) and Ward (1998) advised that
if crusts were to be removed, the clinician must
demonstrate an understanding of the difference
between crusts and scabs. Crusts at the pin site
interface provide a barrier to the external surface
and therefore should be removed, whereas a scab
is an essential part of the healing process and for
this reason should not be removed (Ward 1998).
Bernardo (2001) recommended that crusts stay
in place and should not be disturbed, as the
chances of infection increase when the crusts are
removed. It was suggested that crusts should only
be removed in the presence of continuous
drainage (Bernardo 2001). Likewise, the NAON
