### Patient: Hi Doctor, I have an open wound on my knee that hurts when I move it.
### Doctor: Okay, for an open wound of the knee, we need to perform wound care management and complete a physical skin exam. We may have to suture the wound if it's deep enough, and we may need to apply a splint to keep the knee stable. In severe cases, we may have to excise the wound. If needed, we'll refer you to a home health care service. We'll also examine your foot to ensure there is no further injury.
