The field of wound management has grown over the past two decades into a medical subspecialty with board-certified practitioners. The growth in subject matter content has been documented in the first three editions of our text and is readily evident in this edition, which we have renamed Wound Healing: Evidence-Based Management, 4th edition. Working on these editions over the years has been much like parents watching their first child being born, mature through adolescence, and head off to college. Here we find ourselves with a fully “grown up” edition that presents a broad overview of present-day wound management. Of course, just as we all aspire to be life-long learners, we know that this text will continue to change and improve, as will practice.
