Poor Chef Joe. He sliced his arm open while sharpening a knife. The doctor gave him stitches and sent him away. What type of injury did he sustain?

A laceration is a cut or tear in the skin, which matches slicing his arm open with a knife. A contusion is a bruise, a fracture is a broken bone, and internal bleeding occurs inside the body rather than as an open cut.
