An avulsion is an injury where a body structure is forcibly detached from its normal point of insertion by either trauma or surgery. This is different from a laceration, which is a tear or cut in the skin, a puncture, which is a small hole caused by a long, pointy object, or an abrasion, which refers to the scraping off of the skin surface.
