Abstract:
:In this review, the author presents the physiologic events in wound healing. A discussion is provided with emphasis on proper tissue handling and suture techniques. A variety of methods are demonstrated as they are applied to specific clinical situations in foot and ankle surgery. It is the intent of this discussion to add information and techniques that may be used to complement general knowledge in wound and incision repair.
