The impact velocity and bone fracture pattern: Forensic perspective

The impact velocity and bone fracture pattern: Forensic perspective

Highlights • We examined the association between the force velocity and the fracture pattern. • Three different tests under different velocities were carried out. • Force velocity significantly correlate with all fracture parameters. • Only “false” wedge-shaped (butterfly) fragments were found • We...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We examined the association between the force velocity and the fracture pattern. • Three different tests under different velocities were carried out. • Force velocity significantly correlate with all fracture parameters. • Only “false” wedge-shaped (butterfly) fragments were found • We established a usable fracture analysis method
