Facial injuries are rarely life-threatening but are the pointers of the energy of injury. In today’s world, soft tissue injuries have become more numerous and doctors face such problems daily. Soft tissue injuries demand meticulous care and treatment.
Common Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft-tissue injuries types which are encountered involve abrasions, simple/complex contused lacerations (with loss of tissue), tattoos, avulsions, burns and bites.
- Abrasions: It is destruction of the superficial layer of skin, it is caused by frictional forces.
- Lacerations: It is the tear or split of skin, muscle, or internal organs produced by the application of blunt force to a broad surface area, which crushed or stretched tissues beyond the limits of their elasticity. They can be split lacerations, stretch lacerations, shearing lacerations, and cut lacerations.
