Horse kiss
The horse kiss (also deer , pork knuckle , Schenkler , in Bavaria Boandl , in Franconia Knöck , in South Tyrol Rossbiss , Rosskick or pork bite , in Austria Schenkerl , railway worker , cold plate or Tschekapuff ) is colloquially referred to as a bruise mostly on the thigh . The horse kiss arises from the external blunt force acting on the body surface (kick, impact, impact), here the iliotibial tract , the lateral thigh. The bruise destroys tissue without damaging the overlying skin. Since the tight tendon plate of the lateral thigh only gives in to a limited extent to the pressure of a hematoma , bruises in this area are particularly painful. Acute care is generally carried out after the PECH scheme : P casing, E is (cooling), C ompression (for example, pressure dressing), H ochlagern.
