Abstract
In brief Much about the treatment of lacerations is the same in all active patients: close inspection, thorough debridement, proper skin approximation and suturing, and protection against reinjury. Some aspects of care, however, differ depending on the extent of the injury, the anatomic site, and the patient's desire or need to return to athletics quickly. This article outlines a systematic approach to diagnosis and management of these common sports injuries.
