(^-v\lcsh\n) Origin[L. a-vello, pp. -vulsus, to tear away] Avulsion is tearing away or forcible separation. Avulsion injuries are common in road traffic accidents. These injuries tear away ligaments causing joint dislocation and internal and external bleeding leading to formation of hematomas.

The removal of land by water action
Removal of land by the action of water erosion.
Sudden tearing away of land by violent action of a river or other watercourse.
In Property law, avulsion refers to a sudden loss or addition to land, which results from the action of water. It differs from accretion, which describes a gradual loss or addition to land resulting from the action of water. This distinction becomes important where a river forms the boundary between two riparian owners.
