2006 Kap-04 General Principles of Trauma Cutaneous Wounds Pathomechanism and Classification Wounds are caused by external force and vary depending on the type and direction of the forces involved. 1). Q thermally or chemically induced wounds. Wounds Caused by Mechanical Forces Puncture Wounds Puncture wounds are relatively small, superficial wounds which often exhibit minimal external blood loss. However, puncture wounds can penetrate very deeply and primary assessment is difficult. Depending on the object causing injury, wound edges may be smooth (knife, nail) or irregular (e.

Indirect manual reduction). n The least amount of instability will result in secondary fracture healing. Fixation Interfragmentary motion leads to tissue necrosis. Mesenchymal cells form as a result of hyperemia with exudates and cellular transmigration (aseptic inflammation). Microphages and macrophages absorb the coagulum and form granulation tissue (granulation tissue callus). This process occurs both centrally around the opened marrow cavities as well as peripherally, i. , in subperiosteal regions.

Organ involvement can be determined by the missile tract. In smooth-bordered missiles, such as pistol or rifle projectiles, the entry wound is generally small and circular, with only minimal bleeding. Tissue debris following in the projectile’s wake, however, causes a large, often heavily bleeding, exit wound with jagged edges. Explosive or fragment projectiles, as well as flying debris (e. , grenades, bomb shrapnel, mines, captive bolt guns, fragments from explosions as well as manipulated smoothly bordered bullets—dum dum bullets—and ricocheting projectiles) tear extensive, deep wound tracts and mangle large areas of tissue.
