Résumé
The purpose of this study was to explore the capability and Intrarater reliability of thermography in detecting pin site infection. This is an explorative proof of concept study. Clinical assessment of pin sites was performed by one examiner with the Modified Gordon Pin Infection Classification from grade 0 to 6. Thermography of the pin sites was performed with a FLIR C3 camera. The analysis of the thermographic images was done in the software FLIR Tools. The maximum skin temperature around the pin site and the maximum temperature for the whole thermographic picture were measured. An Intrarater agreement was established and test-retests were performed with different camera angles. Thirteen (four females, nine males) patients (age 9-72 years) were included. Indications for frames: Fracture ( Measurements of pin site temperature using the hand-held FLIR C3 infrared camera was a reliable method and the temperature was related to infection grading. This study demonstrated that digital thermography with a hand-held camera might be used for monitoring the pin sites after operations to detect early infection. Rahbek O, Husum HC, Fridberg M,
