Case report: Degloving wound in a Macaque (Macaca radiata)

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).
