Scalp Avulsion Injury
The patient reportedly fell and hit her head on a sharp rock, lacerating her scalp. The wound was thoroughly irrigated and debrided. Later the wound was closed with sutures and two drains were placed to minimize the chance of hematoma formation. Broad-spectrum antibiotics were also given.   Scalp lacerations are a common injury. Clinical evaluation should identify associated serious head injury, laceration of the galea, or bony defect of the skull. After hemostasis is achieved and the wound is irrigated, scalp lacerations are typically closed with sutures under local or in this case general anesthesia. - caringsurgeon - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.

Re: Scalp Avulsion Injury
Like the laces on a football. A scalp is much thicker than I imagined it to be. I poke my forehead and it seems paper thin. Maybe it's just me. |

Re: Scalp Avulsion Injury
Debride means to cut away devitalized tissue, not so much to clean it. Her scalp is perfect and amazingly quite intact considering she fell headfirst onto a rock! Who knew human bone could actually look as smooth as alabaster and as biscuit or almond coloured as a major appliance coating? [LOLs at self] |
