Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to develop an algorithm to help make accurate decisions about how to manage traumatic wounds. We hope this tool will help us determine the ideal time to use surgery to close major wounds in a way that will best promote healing.
Who Can Participate?
Eligibility
Adults ages 18-70 who have experienced some type of physical trauma that has resulted in an open wound or limb amputation that cannot be closed immediately after it is stabilized.
