A power grinder accident causing a deep laceration on the left side of the face

Power tools can cause devastating injuries. At the very least, the affected tissues are irregular and heavily damaged. The reconstructive plan should begin with stabilization of the patient, including advanced trauma life support for severe cases. A thorough physical exam is next. Severely injured or unstable patients should have the wounds cleaned and packed or loosely closed until a definitive reconstruction can be performed. Patients require tetanus prophylaxis when indicated, and antibiotics should be reserved for contaminated wounds. . . Tag a friend and follow us @medicalpedia
