destrucción de tejido subcutáneo en torno al borde de las heridas

Atención, el término "undermining" puede tener dos significados en relación con las heridas. El primero es el que apunta Javier, que es un procedimiento médico. El segundo, que es el que nos ocupa aquí, se refiere a la destrucción de tejido que se produce en torno a una herida, pero sin afectar la piel. Es decir, la piel queda intacta pero el tejido subyacente es dañado.
