I read somewhere that a man was attacked with a a pair of scissors on the neck and the result was: deep lateral laceration. Could you explain what that means please?
So where does an “avulsion” fit in the grand scheme of wounds? I’ve always considered an avulsion to be caused by blunt trauma, a ripping or tearing process, or even an injury caused by contact with the ground. This article needs to be broadened.
