Clinical assessment

Wound assessment & findings

Initial Wound Assessment: Deep laceration (~3–4 cm). Primary sutures placed to close the wound.
Wound Dimensions: ~3–4 cm (laceration length, as stated in the slide)
Clinical Findings — Phase 2: Cleaner margins, dark crust forming along suture line.
Clinical Findings — Phase 3: Shallow abrasion with yellowish crusts and surrounding erythema.
Clinical Findings — Phase 4: Crusts less prominent. Surrounding inflammation subsiding.
Clinical Findings — Phase 5: Almost healed. Small faint pink area of new skin visible.
Clinical Findings — Phase 6: Skin smooth, normal color and texture fully restored.

Healing progression

From Injury to Full Recovery

Six phases of healing — each image shows real progress toward restored skin.

Phase 1 — Initial Injury: Deep laceration (~3–4 cm). Primary sutures placed to close the wound. — Phase 1

Key findings

Documented key findings

Finding 1
Healing documented across six sequential phases from initial injury to complete recovery.
Finding 2
Wound managed by primary suture closure, followed by debridement and re-suturing.
Finding 3

Finding 4
Surrounding inflammation subsided by Phase 4; crusts less prominent.
Finding 5
Complete recovery documented at Phase 6 — skin smooth, normal color and texture fully restored.
