Abstract:
One hundred and ninety-one selfinflicted wrist lacerations in 148 different patients who presented to the Sacramento Medical Center Emergency Room from July, 1975, through June, 1977, are analyzed. One hundred and fifty-four (80.6%) involved the skin alone. Of the 37 lacerations with deep structure injury, 31 involved the palmaris longus. Only four of these were isolated injuries, and if this tendon is cut, there is an 87.1% association with a variety of other lacerated structures.
