Wound healing by secondary intention

Zitelli, John A.·1983·Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology

Abstract

Secondary intention healing is a simple method of wound management that can provide excellent cosmetic results. Wounds located on concave surfaces of the skin heal with a better cosmetic result than those on convex surfaces. The technic of wound care is reviewed and a set of guidelines is presented that helps one to predict the final appearance of healed cutaneous wounds.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
