Cleaning a wound using a pressurized solution, such as saline, to remove debris and contaminants.

Cleaning the edges of a wound with an antiseptic solution using circular motions, working outward from the wound edge.

Inspecting a wound to identify and address any issues such as hematomas and bleeding.

Removing blood clots from inside a wound.

Removal of dead or damaged tissue from a wound.

Dead tissue that has hardened on a wound.

Directly closing a wound using stitches.

Managing fluid from the wound, usually post-closure.

A scar where the scar tissue is attached to bone, low in blood vessels; significant loss of tissue.

A scar with abnormal coloring; either too light (hypopigmentation) or too dark (hyperpigmentation).

A scar that causes pain from nerve regeneration or neuroma growth.

Scars that can be avoided by proper wound care, such as keeping wounds clean and aligned procedures.

Careful handling of acute wounds involves cleaning the wound, diagnosis, debridement, repairing damaged structures, and skin replacement when necessary.

A scar that is pale, flat, and tight, often found on areas with high tension like the back.

Unwanted tissue growth that can affect many body systems (skin, tendons, digestive, organs, etc.)

A scar that grows beyond the wound boundaries, often in people with darker skin or those with a family history.

Goals of scar treatment include restoring function, relieving symptoms, preventing recurrence, and improving appearance.

A type of scar that may grow larger than the original wound but does not extend past wound boundaries.

Better local results, simple procedure, and less aggressive anesthesia

Same location, at least skin + subcutaneous tissue, similar characteristics to the recipient area and complete immobilization.

Maintain the pedicle for 15-21 days, which is the period where the graft is anchored and receiving blood supply

Artificial materials that replace missing or damaged skin, often expensive but useful.

Potential lack of local tissue, worsening of scars, and surgical limits in resection.

A flap must have similar characteristics to the recipient bed.

Pedicled flaps require artery and vein dissection for placement.

Local flaps yield better results in the immediate area.

Potential shortage of local tissue can occur.

Synthetic skin substitutes increase usefulness, yet are pricy.

A section of tissue transplanted to a different location in the body.

The area where the flap will be placed.

A flap that maintains its blood supply from its origin.

A flap obtained from the immediate tissues surrounding the recipient site.

Artificial material used to replace or augment skin function and appearance.

Likelihood of a bone tumor being cancerous, assessed by bone reactivity and destruction pattern.

Shape and appearance of the damaged bone. Esclerotic borders suggest less likely malignancy.

How the surrounding bone reacts to the tumor, solid/lamellar suggests benign.

Lifting of the periosteum from the bone, often seen in malignant tumors in the metaphysis.

Triangular shapes formed where periosteum lifting occurs, suggesting malignancies.

Spread of cancer to another location in the body, often detected via imaging.

Metabolic activity of a tumor, measured via gamma scan. Higher scores suggest higher activity and possible malignancy.

Methods like X-rays, CT scans, and MRI used to visualize bone and soft tissue for tumor assessment, but not definitive diagnosis only clues.

The middle layer of the eye, containing the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. It's highly vascular.

The thin, transparent covering of the sclera and the inside of the eyelids.

The transparent front part of the eye that helps focus light.

Eye redness, discharge (like mucus), and a gritty feeling.

Inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye.

Sudden pressure buildup in the eye, leading to severe pain, usually accompanied by changes in vision.

Possible causes include conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) or a subconjunctival hemorrhage (blood vessel burst).

The white, tough outer coat of the eyeball that protects the inner structures.

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using plates and screws, or alternative methods like cerclage, is a common treatment for mandibular fractures.

Direct visualization and alignment of bones during surgery.

Inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane lining the inside of the eyelids and covering the white part of the eye.

The thin, transparent layer of tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids

The front, transparent part of the eye, acting like a lens and focusing light rays.

Certain types of fractures, such as pediatric, comminuted, atrophic, or infected fractures, are not ideal candidates for ORIF.

A surgical technique that involves repairing a fractured bone by placing plates and screws.

Includes managing pain, infection, diet, and regular follow-ups after surgery.
