Lacerations

A flap laceration usually occurs with sharp objects such as glass, a knife, or sliding on rocks:

An avulsion laceration of the left index finger. This is a common injury when a pinching motion has occured between two objects.

Unless one can get to medical help with a salvaged piece of skin in less than 12 hours, a skin graft as the one aboved should not be attempted. This wound should be thoroughly irrigated, cleaned, and bandaged. This will heal nicely over time:

Example of a blowout laceration to an index finger. This can occur when a log falls on your finger or smashed between a rock. This gentleman was lucky. These lacerations usually involve a fracture, this one however did not:

A crush injury to a young man's right foot. This injury is 7 days old. He sustained two large blowout lacerations as well as two fractured toes. The redness you see in the picture is from a secondary infection which is not uncommon with these injuries:

Laceration to the lower lip from a direct blow. These can occur by a limb hitting one in the face, or falling. This gentleman had a 2" laceration to the lip as well as losing two of his upper teeth.

Lip lacerations rarely need to be closed and usually heal fine on their own. However, the outside edge of the lip should be closed by a professional healthcare provider due to increased chances of scaring and difficulty with wound approximation. In the outdoors, apply pressure and make sure the air way is clear. Due to increased bleeding of all mouth injuries, one should be aware to keep the airway open:

A young man sustaining a laceration to the neck. This looks much worse than it is, however any laceration to the neck must be assessed for the severity of injury. The neck is the corridor from the head to the body, and not only contains our breathing and eating apparatus, but many nerves and vessels run through it. It is of the utmost importance to make sure the person is breathing without any obstruction:

This man sustained a laceration to his left arm. It is actually not that deep but it is long. Adipose tissue (fat) is protruding which makes this wound look worse than it actually is:

This man sustained a severe laceration above his left eye. He was very lucky not to have lacerated the supraorbital nerve which is visible in the picture:

That first one looks like they sewed a green roach to his finger.
