Is it common to get blisters after orif surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swelling = blisters: After a fracture and subsequent orif (surgical fixation with hardware), swelling is present to varying degrees. The excess fluid in the area will find the pathway of least resistance which is often into the skin layer whereby a visible blistering forms.
