    Forensic Traumatology

    Uploaded by

    Dr'shameer Basha Sr.
    This document discusses different types of wounds including bruises, abrasions, lacerations, and cuts. It describes the mechanisms by which these wounds are produced, factors that influence their appearance, and their medicolegal importance. Bruises result from blunt force trauma and their color changes over time can help estimate the age of the injury. Abrasions are superficial injuries caused by friction or pressure and may reveal the direction of force. Lacerations are tears in the skin produced by different mechanisms like splitting, stretching, grinding compression, or tears. All of these wound types can provide clues in forensic investigations.

    WOUND PRODUCTION
    MECHANISM OF WOUND PRODUCTION

    Force / Energy required for


    production of a wound is transferred
    to the tissue as a result of impact
    between propelling force and
    counter force.
    Energy transmitted to the body as a
    result of impact is used in:
    IMPORTANT
    BRUISE
    BRUISE OR CONTUSION
    FACTORS CONTROLLING
    APPEARANCE OF
    BRUISE
    MEDICOLEGAL IMPORTANCE OF BRUISE

    1) It is evidence of application of blunt force.


    2) Helps in identification of weapon.
    3) Indicates degree of violence.
    4) Tells time of infliction of injury.
    ESTIMATION OF AGE OF BRUISE
    COLOUR CHANGES
    Fresh: is “RED” – due to oxygenated Hb.
    After 12 hours: “BLUE” due to deoxygenated Hb.
    1-2 days: “BLACKISH BLUE OR BROWN”- due to
    Haemosiderin.
    After 3 days: “GREENISH” due to Haemotoidin.
    After 7 days: “YELLOWISH” due to Bilirubin.
    After 2 weeks: Complete disappearance.
    More is the depth & severity of the bruise
    longer is the time of complete
    disappearance.
    Multiple Bruises
    Bruise
    ABRASION
    These are superficial injuries involving only
    outer layer of skin and do not penetrate the
    full
    thickness of skin.
    Mechanism of Production:
    Pressure & movement over the skin with a
    hard
    object.
    This mechanics results into:
    1. Moving Abrasion 2. Friction
    Abrasion
    MOVING ABRASIONS

    Gives evidence of direction by pile-up or heaping of


    epidermis at the far end.

    Types
    A).
    Scratch B).
    Graze
    SCRATCH
    Scratch
    Multiple Scratches
    GRAZE
    It is variation of scratch
    when a rough object
    comes incontact with a
    wider surface of skin
    usually seen in road side
    accident.
    Graze
    FRICTION ABRASION
    It is caused by pressure upon the skin
    accompanied by movement e.g. Ligature
    mark by a rope in hanging or
    strangulation and lashes with a whip.
    Friction Abrasion
    Imprint Abrasion
    AGE OF ABRASION
    MEDICO LEGAL IMPORTANC

    1) May indicate severe internal


    injury.
    2) Gives nature of object causing it.
    3) Tells direction of force.
    4) Gives timing of injury.
    5) Indicates manner of infliction.
    LACERATION
    TYPES OF LACERATION

    Split Laceration : Produced due to sudden


    compression between two hard objects i.e.
    weapon & underlying bone on areas like
    scalp, chin, eyebrow etc.
    Split Lacerations
    FEATURES
    STRETCH LACERATION

    Breach of the skin is due to over


    stretching slightly away from the
    point of contract – more seen in
    industry/vehicular accidents when
    parts of the body get trapped or when
    a bone is bent and broken and there
    is traction strain over skin.
    STRETCH LACERATION
    FEATURES
    LACERATION BECAUSE OF
    GRINDING COMPRESSION BY WEIGHT
    Localized pressure by heavy weight
    causes tear and separation of the
    skin from underlying tissues –
    underlying tissue is crushed / minced
    e.g. passing a vehicular wheel over a
    limb.
    LACERATION BECAUSE OF
    GRINDING COMPRESSION BY WEIGHT
    (Avulsion)
    FEATURES
    TEAR
    It is a type of over stretching
    by an irregular
    penetrating object e.g.
    protruding hinge or door
    handle of a car.
    CUT LACERATION
    OR
    CHOP INJURIES

    By heavy edged weapon such as chopper or hatchet.
