Lacerations are similar, but produce ragged edges or torn skin.<\/p>\n<p>These types of injuries can cut deeper and involve damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments as well. Abrasive wounds (or abrasions) are similar to \u201croad rash\u201d type injuries and result when the skin is scraped off by contact with gravel and asphalt.
