Scalp laceration

A horrible hit and run accident in downtown Salt Lake City on super bowl Sunday 2018. He suffered a severely broken leg, minor injuries to his spine and a serious scalp laceration. 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 surgical staples under local anesthesia. Sutures may be preferred over staples for large, gaping wounds and to provide hemostasis for wounds with brisk bleeding.
