FORENSIC TRAUMATOLOGY: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
Abstract
Abstract
Forensic traumatology is a specialized branch of forensic medicine that focuses
on the study and analysis of traumatic injuries in both living and deceased individuals.
This field encompasses the examination of various types of trauma, including blunt
force, sharp force, thermal, and ballistic injuries, and their medico-legal implications.
The integration of clinical findings, autopsy results, and advanced imaging techniques
is crucial in determining the cause and manner of death, as well as in providing valuable
information for legal proceedings.
