A member asked:
I had a bone graft operation more than a week ago and bone was taken from my left hip. do i need to keep the stiches covered with a plaster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good idea: The incision should be healed to the point where the sutures can be removed at approximately 10 days. The hip is often exposed to minor trauma so would leave covered until then
