A degloving injury, a type of soft-tissue injury which can occur anywhere in the body, commonly affects areas including the face, scalp, trunk, limbs, and genitalia. Degloving injuries are caused by shearing forces that cause the soft tissue layers to get pulled apart. They were first reported in the twentieth century from machinery such as wringers used to dry clothes. The invention and widespread use of automobiles also lead to degloving and other traumatic injuries.
