Does a knee cut from a wooden frame cause infection?

Hello 

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

A knee cut from a wooden frame could potentially lead to infection depending on various factors such as the wound's cleanliness and the body's immune response. While not all cuts become infected, it's crucial to monitor for signs like increased redness, warmth, swelling, or drainage. Proper wound care, including cleaning with mild soap, applying an antiseptic, and bandaging, reduces infection risk. Seek medical attention promptly if symptoms worsen. Healthcare professionals may recommend a tetanus vaccine if needed and assess infection possibility.

Thanks
