Abstract

The society for Wound Care and Research was founded with the aim of promoting the practice of better wound care and research. The society carries out academic, clinical, research, and social activities in a calculated manner aimed at improving wound healing. SWCR guidelines have 4 components with the acronym SWCR where S stands for systematic analysis of patient and wound, W for wound bed preparation, C for clinical decisions, and R for repair, reconstruction & rehabilitation. Hand injury is a commonly seen and a leading cause of work-related disability. Appropriate wound management and meticulous reconstruction followed by rehabilitation in a systematic manner are of utmost importance in these patients to improve their quality of life and return to work in them. Injuries of the hand are particularly challenging from the viewpoint of healing and reconstruction as they require restoration of both functionality and aesthetics. These difficulties can be overcome by systematically approaching the wound through SWCR guidelines. This review article provides a summary of the benefits of using SWCR guidelines in the management of hand injuries.
