PY - 2012 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 7e AB - The scalp and forehead (which includes eyebrows) are parts of the same anatomic structure (Fig. 11-1). Eyebrows are valuable landmarks for the meticulous reapproximation of the wound edges and should never be clipped or shaved. After the wound cleaning and hemostasis are achieved, the base of the wound always should be palpated for possible skull fracture. All depressed fractures should be evaluated by computed tomography.
