[Analysis on the characters of injuries in body surface and deduction of injury-causing instruments in 146 cases]
1Fujian Zongzheng Forensic Judicial Appraisal Institute, Fuzhou 363100, China.
Objective:
To study the deduction of injury-causing instruments and its value as judicial evidence.
Methods:
To collect 146 cases involved in injury-causing instruments deduction, which accepted by Judicial Appraisal Center of Wannan Medical College during the period from 1998 to 2007, then to deduce the instrument by analyzing the characters of injuries in body surface. The accuracy of those deductions was evaluated by comparing the deduced instruments with the actual instruments.
Results:
The deduction from sharp injuries was more accurate than that from blunt injuries.
Conclusion:
Sometimes the result of deduction about injury-causing instruments are uncertain, it may be accepted as judicial evidence when supported by other evidences.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
