BACKGROUNDS CLASSIFICATION OF WOUNDS: NEW TREND 8 Acute vs Chronic Wounds SIMPLE WOUND those wounds which are readily managed by local wound care / contraction, direct closure, skin grafting, local tissure rearrangment. COMPLEX WOUND these are large wounds requiring tissue distant from wound site i.e. regional, distal transposition or microvascular composite tissue transfer PROBLEM WOUND Those wounds which fails to achieve closure with the above methods or recurres due to local or systemic causes.
