Auricular trauma

Auricular trauma refers to injuries to the auricle, which is exposed and relatively fragile on both sides of the skull, caused by various traumatic factors such as contusions, lacerations, avulsions, amputations, and firearm injuries. If not treated promptly after injury, it can lead to perichondritis, cartilage necrosis, and residual auricular deformities. Therefore, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible if such an injury occurs.
