Moreover, trau- matic wounds have been historically a major source of litigation against EPs, accounting for up to 24% of all the medical lawsuits, mainly due to missed identification and treatment of tendon or nerve injuries, or to infection and/or presence of foreign bodies.2 Hence, although most wounds will heal without any treatment, a prompt and careful repair of these injuries reduces infection and scarring, thus improving the patient’s satisfaction and avoiding signifi- cant additional costs.1 However, in current clinical practice several different approaches to traumatic wounds are still practiced, due to cultural gaps, myths and local traditions.	cache/ecj-5906.pdf	txt/ecj-5906.txt
