Young child with 3cm facial laceration – closure method?
5yo brought to A&E by his mum with forehead laceration after whacking head on jungle gym. No loss of consciousness and child is luckily alert, and active. Unfortunately he's got a 3cm laceration crossing his hairline. Junior docs – what do you recommend for wound closure for this child? Would you go for interrupted sutures or sterli strips? Would you shave around the area or not? Why?
