Question

Degloving skin involves removal of?

• A. skin,subcutaneous fat,fascia,muscle
• B. skin,subcutaneous fat,fascia
• C. skin only
• D. skin subcutaneous fat

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Degloving injuries refer to a type of traumatic injury where the layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissue are stripped away from the underlying structures, often due to a forceful pull or shear. The correct description of what is removed in degloving relates to the component layers that are detached.

In the context of the options given:

Options	Explanation
skin,subcutaneous fat,fascia,muscle	This option includes deeper structures such as fascia and muscle. However, these are not typically involved in degloving injuries, which primarily affect the more superficial layers.
skin,subcutaneous fat,fascia	This option still includes fascia, which is deeper than the layers usually involved in degloving.
skin only	Only includes the superficial layer without the subcutaneous fat, making it less comprehensive than typical degloving.
skin subcutaneous fat	This option accurately represents the layers most commonly affected in degloving injuries, as both the skin and subcutaneous fat are typically separated from the underlying fascia and muscle.

The correct option, therefore, is: skin subcutaneous fat.
