What is important to patients in wound management.

Traumatic wounds are a common reason for patients to attend emergency departments. There are many ways of managing these wounds from glue to suturing. The authors conducted a patient survey to identify the outcome measures most important to patients after closure of traumatic wounds.

What is not known is whether it is safe to discharge, without follow-up, those with a normal limited extremity MRI.
