Hi,
Two questions:
We saw a patient with an avulsion type laceration on his leg measuring 8 cm on the medial aspect and 6 cm on the lateral aspect with a transverse dimension of 6.5cm at the base.

This was a complex repair as he had to sharply debrided to viable tissue.

How do I determine the total length of the repair?

Thank You
