If you're talking about his arm wounds, I totally disagree. From what the pics showed, those aren't abrasions. Abrasions are scrapes, NOT cuts (AKA lacerations), and not punctures. That doesn't mean all abrasions are minor, like a skinned knee; there can be severe abrasions, but these aren't that.
They're lacerations, I believe. Cuts. They might be puncture wounds, but I don't picture puncture wounds as being dragged like those, more like an injury from something poking, gouging, or plunging in thru the skin (including bullet wounds), but not "dragged" like his look to be. I think these would be called lacerations by doctors.
There's also something called avulsions, and here's a definition:
- Avulsion occurs when there is a partial or complete tearing away of the skin and the tissue beneath. Avulsions typically occur during violent accidents.
but I'm not familiar with that term, and I can't tell by this definition if this would qualify as that or not. But I feel good about calling them lacerations.
That definition above came from Wounds (abrasions, lacerations, puncture, or avulsions) | Catawba Valley Healthcare
and here's the rest of that section for context:
There are basically four types of open wounds:
- Abrasion occurs when your skin scrapes against a rough or hard surface.
- A laceration is a deep cut or tearing of your skin by items such as knives, tools, or machinery. If deep, bleeding can be rapid and heavy.
- A puncture is a small hole caused by a pointy object like a nail, needle, or bullet (bullet puncture). When deep, punctures can damage internal organs.
- Avulsion occurs when there is a partial or complete tearing away of the skin and the tissue beneath. Avulsions typically occur during violent accidents.
