Abstract
Rotational forces applied to the skin and supporting tissues frequently result in a low velocity
avulsion injury referred to as a degloving injury. Degloving injuries like shearing wounds
are serious because the skin barrier is gone and there is unknown damage to the
underlying soft tissue and blood supply. The present case describes a history, clinical
findings, diagnosis and management of a degloving wound in a 7 month old male
monkey (Macaca radiate).
