An Innovative Roadmap of Establishing Mechanical Definition of Scars from an Engineering Perspective: Impact upon Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Forensic Medicine

Mohammed Zahid Saadoon

Abstract: Scars may face many clinicians in different medical specialties. Their management had evolved based upon our knowledge. Currently there?s no well established definition of the scar and many of the definitions are based upon highly subjective criteria. We are here introducing an introductory model of obtaining objective assessments of scar based upon mechanical assessment. Assessment is important in management in the case of dermatology and plastic surgery as well as for decision machining in forensic medicine.
