Ripped blister. Read Francona's lips to the umpire. He said "he tore it right open' date=' he's done".[/quote']

 

figured youd show up right about now

good to know injuries bring you joy

 

doesnt sound like anything too serious and it is about time you guys got snakebit a little. If he blew out his arm or tore something, I wouldnt be happy. Kinda like how you guys were watching our guys go down with hammies. Nothing serious.

that sucks. He was really feeling the curve this year...that middle finger is key to his curveball grip. Hopefully he doesnt go to the DL, and hopefully it doesnt throw him off too much next time out

I guess the finger problems are not cured after all.

 

an avulsion of the skin. I have never heard that used on skin before, mostly for certain kinds of fractures. It is when there is pulling away from the normal attachment. So it sounds like he has developed a blister but hasnt ripped it? We'll see.

i think its the opposite...according to remy he pulled the skin away, not necessarily the blister

Snyder pitching the way the Sox have been on offense, lackadaisical

 

Worst case scenario: Beckett goes to the DL. Hansack would be called up to take his place since Lester is still throwing bullpen sessions

from the Globe:

 

According to Merriam-Webster online, avulsion is "a forcible separation or detachment as a tearing away of a body part accidentally or surgically."

 

They've also classified it as a skin irritation

see my post above.

 

When you are talking about an avulsion fracture, you are talking about when there is undo stress pulling a tendon which causes the bone it is attached to to pull away and fracture. When talking about the skin, you would say that it is when there is undo stress on the skin pulling it away from its normal attachment. It sounds like the same mechanism that you create a blister. But that is typically when you separate the layers of skin. If he had a true avulsion, he may have pulled the entire layer of skin away from the underlying connective tissue and that would be akin to a large blood blister.

Time to renew your subscription to JEMS MJ. This is beyond basic soft-tissue injury terminology.

 

It's taught in EMT class for lord's sake.

Ah, different terminology. I was taught it to be a full thickness skin flap. here ya go.

 

A "full thickness" flap or avulsion is complete loss of all layer of the skin
