A complex laceration can involve tendons, nerves, blood vessels, joint capsules, or bone. It can also involve contamination, tissue loss, or a high-risk location like the hand, wrist, ankle, or over a joint. These wounds need a careful exam and a plan that protects long-term function.
At OccuHealth Surgery Center, we provide same-day evaluation for complex lacerations when possible. We focus on injury depth, function, and infection risk, then map out next steps.
A wound may need orthopedic evaluation when:
We take a step-by-step approach. We assess movement, sensation, circulation, joint stability, and wound depth. When needed, we coordinate imaging to check for foreign bodies or associated fractures. Then we explain what the wound involves and what treatment makes sense.
Treatment depends on the location and what structures are involved. Some wounds need layered closure and immobilization. Some need a higher level of repair planning because tendons, nerves, or joints are involved. In every case, we give clear instructions for wound care, restrictions, and follow-up.
If you have been injured or need care for a complex laceration, contact us today.
