Chevron incision – This incision is a cut made on the abdomen below the rib cage. The cut starts under the mid-axillary line below the ribs on the right side of the abdomen and continues all the way across the abdomen to the opposite mid-axillary line thereby the whole width of the abdomen is cut to provide access to the liver.
A partially avulsed ear can be reattached through suturing or microvascular surgery, depending on the severity of the injury. [5] [6] Microvascular surgery can also be used to reattach a completely avulsed ear, [7] [8] [9] but its success rate is lower because of the need for venous drainage.
Pain can also be in the side of the neck, the pectoral area below the clavicle, the armpit/axillary area, and the upper back (i.e., the trapezius and rhomboid area). Discoloration of the hands, one hand colder than the other hand, weakness of the hand and arm muscles, and tingling are commonly present. [citation needed]

Depending on the severity of the sprain, the movement on the joint can be compromised since ligaments aid in the stability and support of joints. Sprains are commonly seen in vulnerable areas such as the wrists, knees and ankles.

Researchers have reported a mortality rate of 47% for acute compartment syndrome of the thigh. [62] A study showed the fasciotomy rate for acute compartment syndrome ranges from 2% to 24%. [19] The key factor in acute compartment syndrome is the time to diagnosis and fasciotomy. [12] A missed or late diagnosis may require limb amputation to ...
Secondary ear pain is a type of referred pain, meaning that the source of the pain differs from the location where the pain is felt. Primary ear pain is more common in children, whereas secondary (referred) pain is more common in adults. [13] Primary ear pain is most commonly caused by infection or injury to one of the parts of the ear. [3]
