At Next Journey Orthopaedics, we understand that accidents happen unexpectedly and can lead to painful and worrisome injuries like lacerations. Whether it’s a cut from a kitchen accident or a work-related injury, our compassionate team is here to provide expert care with a focus on your well-being and recovery. Our comprehensive approach to laceration repair ensures that you get the treatment you need to heal effectively and comfortably, reducing your time in recovery and helping you get back to your normal routine as quickly as possible.

Common Causes of Lacerations Treated

Steroid injections, also known as corticosteroid injections, are a common treatment for reducing inflammation and pain in various parts of the body. They are often used for joint pain, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. They are injected into the tendon, muscle, joint, tunnel or trigger points in different locations of the body. Not all areas of the body are ideal locations for injections to be done. 

​

Common Reasons for Lacerations/Cuts:

  • Kitchen accidents (cuts from knives, broken glass, etc.)

  • Work-related injuries (construction tools, machinery)

  • Sports injuries (cuts from cleats, sharp equipment)

  • Household accidents (slips and falls resulting in cuts)

  • Animal bites or scratches

  • Car accidents

  • Falls from a height (especially outdoors or during physical activities)

  • Sharp object injuries (nails, metal edges)

  • Accidental punctures (scissors, needles)

  • Glass-related injuries (windows, broken bottles)

Expert Laceration Repair

Lacerations require immediate attention to prevent infection and ensure proper healing. At Next Journey Orthopaedics, we specialize in providing prompt, precise laceration repair that includes:

  • Thorough cleaning and assessment of the wound

  • Careful repair using sutures, staples, or adhesive strips, depending on the severity

  • Clear instructions for wound care and follow-up

For tendon injuries, particularly extensor tendon injuries, we offer in-office repair. This allows us to address your injury swiftly, promoting faster recovery and minimizing the risk of complications. In cases of flexor tendon injuries, which often require more specialized surgical intervention, our team will assess the injury and provide for appropriate surgical treatment.

When Surgery Is Needed: For Example, Flexor Tendon Injuries

For more complex tendon injuries, like flexor tendon damage, surgery may be required. While we can provide an initial assessment, these injuries often necessitate more advanced surgical intervention. Our team works closely with specialized surgeons to ensure that you receive the best possible care for these more complex cases.

We understand that injuries can be distressing, but you don’t have to go through it alone. At Next Journey Orthopaedics, our expert team is here to guide you through every step of your treatment, ensuring you get the care you need when it matters most.
