Abstract

This review describes the methods that may be used clinically for the assessment of open wounds and indicates potential limitations in their usefulness. None of the methods available for the appraisal of wounds in human subjects measures healing directly but a number of objective variables may be used to shed light on the healing process. Research methods have been suggested that may be clinically useful in assessing healing but are not generally available at present.
