Abstract
A biomechanical study was performed to examine a proposed mechanism of fracture blister formation. Sixty cadaver ankle skin specimens were subjected to several levels of uniaxial strain and examined histologically. Dermal-epidermal separation patterns similar to those found histologically in previous studies of biopsied fracture blisters were seen in specimens strained 152% and greater. These findings support the hypothesis that fracture blisters can result from strain developed in the skin during initial fracture deformation.Entities:
