Abstract: Knowing when a wound can safely be closed is an iconic problem for surgery. When an extremity wound is closed too soon, with resulting infection requiring further debridement, an amputation can result. Or a minor amputation can be converted into a major amputation. Patient welfare is on the line, and expenses are considerable in these situations.
