  • Title: [The relationship of injuries of the skin of the head to its morphometric characteristics and to the weapon of the trauma].
    Author: Sundukov DV.
    Journal: Sud Med Ekspert; 1994; 37(4):3-5. PubMed ID: 7892688.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-six experiments with biomannequins revealed that the severity of injuries to soft tissues of the head inflicted with blunt hard instruments with three-surfaced and spherical active surfaces depended on the scope of injury to the skull, size of the part of the instrument coming in contact with the skull, curvature of the bones, and thickness of soft tissues in the injured area of the head. Comparative study of the effects of different factors on the scope of injury to skin integument of the head demonstrated the significance of each of them with different instruments of injury.
