Abstract
Wound measurement is an important aspect of wound management. Periodic wound measurement helps in assessing the effect of treatment protocol and in deciding further intervention. Digital Planimetry (DP) is an important tool for wound measurement. Using a square grid, digital image photograph and the Image-J software, the digital planimetry score is calculated and wound is assessed and treatment protocol finalised. Here we share our experience with the use of Digital Planimetry in wound management
