Abstract

Different branches of Medical specialties are adopting latest technologies in their clinical practice in Wound documentation. We need to change our approach in our basic documentation. In wound documentation we still use word format to explain the nature of injury. Photographs can convey a very simple manner what hundreds of properly coined words may not be able to convey. Present article is a step forward to substantiate the importance of use of Phototography in routine Medical practice.
