Medical Monday: Avulsion

Avulsion is defined as: (1) The forcible tearing away of a body part by trauma or surgery. (2) The tearing away of an attached or anchored tissue, as in the avulsion of a muscle from its insertion in bone— e.g., an avulsion fracture in which bone remains attached to the inserted muscle, but loses its attachment to surrounding bone. (3) Tearing away, forcible separation, or complete displacement of a tooth from the alveolar bone.”
