    (Wolters Kluwer, 2022-11-15) Brown, Amanda L.; Hassanein, Aladdin H.; Gabriel, Keith; Mailey, Brian A.; Surgery, School of Medicine

Primary inciting factors can be organized into efforts aimed at wound prevention: spasticity relief, pressure off-loading, infection and contamination prevention, nutrition optimization, and maximizing extremity function.
