The most problematic complication of external fixation is infection at the pin insertion site. Technology that improves the adhesion of the external fixation pin to the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and bone may prevent infection at the pin site. The purpose of this study is to formulate a calcium phosphate-fibroblast growth factor (Cp-FGF) coating on a stainless-steel external fixation pin and to verify its effectiveness in reducing infection at the pin site and its possible influence on bone fixation in animal experiments.
