lacerations

explanation
A cut refers to a skin wound with separation of the connective tissue elements. Cuts are typically thought of like a wound caused by a sharp object (such as a knife or a shard of glass). The term laceration implies a torn or jagged wound. Lacerations tend to be caused by sharp objects.
