This is a tibial pilon fracture that was repaired 2 days ago. Most of our wounds are closed with sutures like this. The wound edges are touching nicely. There are no signs of infection.
This is a tibial plateau fracture that is 5 weeks after surgery. The wound is very well healed. There are some scabs around the sutures which is not unusual for this type of incision.
After removal of sutures, we often place steri-strips over the wound as shown in this example.
This is an example of a very well healed wound.
