Wound Measurement, Score

Wound measurement is a helpful quantitative finding in wound assessment that can be used as a practical approach to track wound healing. The most common techniques for wound measurement include manual metric measurement, mathematical models, manual planimetry, digital planimetry, stereophotogrammetry, and digital imaging methods. An ideal wound measurement technique has high accuracy, reliability, and feasibility. Currently, no gold standard method exists for wound measurement, though digital methods are preferred since they are generally more accurate and precise than manual methods. With advancements in technology, newer wound measurement techniques are increasingly being developed and studied.
