    • Geriatrics
    • Wound Care

    Background:

    • Pretibial lacerations represent a common clinical challenge.
    • These injuries frequently result in substantial patient morbidity, disproportionately affecting elderly women.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify predisposing factors for pretibial lacerations.
    • To outline evidence-based guidelines for the effective management of pretibial lacerations.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of factors contributing to pretibial lacerations.
    • Synthesis of current management strategies and treatment protocols.

    Main Results:

    • Key predisposing factors include skin fragility, trauma, and vascular insufficiency.
