This injury comes with a high risk of infection since the bone is exposed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"darkred\">Tissue De-Gloving<\/font><\/strong> \u2013 When a portion of the skin is removed or torn off from the underlying tissue. This is common in motorcycle accidents.<\/p>\n<p><strong><font color=\"darkred\">Amputations<\/font><\/strong> \u2013 De-gloving injuries and more can lead to amputations of injured or affected extremities.
