Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Any English-speaking child, 2 to 17 years of age that presents to the emergency department at Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center with a hand or foot laceration less than or equal to 2 cm is eligible for the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients will be excluded if their laceration is greater than 2 cm, have irregular borders or are, deeper than 0.5 cm.
- Wounds that are the result of a mammalian bite,
- Wounds more than minimally contaminated on visual inspection or are more than 8 hours old.
- Wounds associated with an open fracture, involve a partial amputation or involve a puncture wound.
- Wounds that involve the nailbed or a fingernail avulsion will be excluded.
- Patients with confirmed or suspected retained foreign bodies in the wound would also be excluded.
- Patients will also be excluded if hemostasis could not be attained after 15 minutes of pressure.
- Patients with complex lacerations who need plastic surgery or other sub-specialty repair will be excluded.
- Complex lacerations include: associated or suspected neurovascular, tendon, ligament, or bone injury, need for deep/multi-layer sutures will be excluded.
- Patients with known or suspected immunodeficiency, bleeding or clotting disorders, pregnancy, diabetes, renal dysfunction, or allergic reaction to local anesthesia are also excluded.
- Patients with a history of anticoagulant or chronic steroid use in the last year. Chronic steroid use is defined by use of steroids (PO, IV, IM, or topical) for more than 14 consecutive days, for more than 3 separate courses per year will be excluded.
- Foster children will also be excluded, due to complications regarding custody, consent, and follow-up issues.
- Patients with allergies to topical anesthetics solution will be excluded from the study.

---|---|---|
Cosmetic Outcome of Hand and Feet Laceration in Children : Conservative vs Suture Repair
Time Frame: 4 months
|
Randomized, parallel group study will compare cosmetic outcome by digital picture by blinded evaluators at 4 months post enrollment. The digital pictures of the laceration repairs were scored using a previously validated Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The VAS scale is a 100-mm continuous line that is marked at the right end with "best appearance/scar"(score 100), and on the left end with "worst appearance/scar" (score 0). |

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Wound Healing in Hand and Feet Lacerations in Children: Conservative vs Suture Repair
Time Frame: 10-14 days
|
Wound healing by visual inspection at the first follow up visit. The wounds will be evaluated for complications that were defined a priori as follows: "wound infection" was one that required systemic antibiotics as determined by the treating attending physician; and "wound dehiscence" as a wound that required the placement of additional sutures or tissue adhesives. The outcome measure data is reported as the number of participants without the presence of "wound infection" or "wound dehiscence". |
