Off_White Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Isn't that the same as "de-gloving"? I've heard the phrase "ring avulsion" used to describe that injury that happens when your ring catches on something. Gack, if that happened to you, it's horrific, say it isn't so!

snoboy Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Minor case, not a whole loss of the thumb skin, it's still attached, as a flap. De-gloving is the extreme version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
