Dru Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 An avulsion in flood hydrology is when a river bursts its banks What it is in medicine? Quote
Off_White Posted February 4, 2005 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! Quote

snoboy Posted February 4, 2005 Author 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
snoboy Posted February 4, 2005 Author Posted February 4, 2005 I'm too much wimp too unwrap it... Anyways, it don't look that dramatic. Freaking stings though. Gosh!!! Quote
layton Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 skier's thumb. I got two of 'em Both from bad daffys Aka "Game Keeper's Thumb" from hyperabduction and a torsional load distracting the joint and avulsing the tip of the 1st metatarsal from high velocity breaking of rabbit necks Quote
snoboy Posted February 4, 2005 Author Posted February 4, 2005 This is skin avulsion, not joint or bone avulsion... Quote
