Penetrating trauma is an open wound injury that occurs when an object pierces the skin and enters a tissue of the body, creating a deep but relatively narrow entry wound.In contrast, a blunt or non-penetrating trauma may have some deep damage, but the overlying skin is not necessarily broken and the wound is still closed to the outside environment.

Timing is important to wound healing. Critically, the timing of wound re-epithelialization can decide the outcome of the healing. [11] If the epithelization of tissue over a denuded area is slow, a scar will form over many weeks, or months; [12] [13] If the epithelization of a wounded area is fast, the healing will result in regeneration.
There is nothing beautiful in destruction, nothing heroic in a man crouching behind a gun whose mouth spouts death, or in a flyer dropping ruin from the skies. Foxholes, sinking ships, disfigured bodies, gaping wounds, burning cities are the epitome of cruelty and ugliness. [5]: 62-63
