Clinical wound assessment scores
| Grade | Graft dislocation | Graft adherence | Granulation tissue | Hyper granulation | Hematoma | Fibrin deposition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | None | Full graft loss | None; full depth defect | None | None | None |
| 1 | 5–10%, tissue still fully viable | Graft 20% adherent, 50% graft loss | Low level of granulation tissue | 10% | Up to 10% wound size | Small patches, up to 10% wound size |
| 2 | 10–25%, one or two spots, 10% tissue not viable | Graft 50% adherent, 30% graft loss | Granulation tissue level at half of initial wound depth | 20% | Up to 20% wound size | Thicker, confluent patches, up to 20% wound size |
| 3 | 25–50%, more than 20% tissue not viable | Graft 75% adherent, 20% graft loss | Granulation tissue level just below surrounding tissue | 40% | Up to 40% wound size | Up to 40% wound size |
| 4 | 50–80%, more than 50% tissue not viable | Graft 90% adherent | Granulation at level with surrounding tissue | 65% | Up to 60% wound size, partial graft loss | Up to 60% wound size, partial graft loss |
| 5 | Graft completely dislocated, full tissue loss | Full graft adherence | Fully granulated wound, exceeds level of surrounding tissue | 100% | Up to 100%, total graft loss | Wound fully covered with fibrin and graft skin totally macerated |
