Media Stitched Suarez

How did she cut her knee ? Was it really the cage
That's what I want to know, too. What part of the octagon could possible cause a huge gash like that? Fighters get literally thrown into and onto the octagon, and don't get up with a second (or first) vagina like she got on her knee.
 
Those are vertical mattress sutures. They're used for high tension wounds.
Damn, you must be working in/around surgeries...I googled to see what that was, and you are spot on - quick 2 min video of procedure. After watching, I compared final frames of video to the stitch job in the original post...spot on!

Shout out to all the medial people who are able to do things like this, as well as much, much more miraculous feats.

I'm a dermatology PA. I do a lot of minor derm surgeries, removing small skin cancers and stuff. I do the vertical mattress sutures pretty often. Thanks for the kind words!
 
The additional skin between the stitches is meant to accommodate her skin while bending her knee as when walking or sitting. If it was stitched taut when her knee is extended she would have to keep her knee straight otherwise the skin flaps will pull apart, which will heal more slowly and risk infection. Superficial stitches can come out in a week, whereas deeper stitches may take much more time.
At first glance I thought it was done in a back alley, then I figured there was a better reason for the way it was done. Thanks for the proper explanation Sherbro….
