Wound ballistics: analysis of blunt and penetrating trauma mechanisms

Background: The tissue factors that are important in wound ballistics offer valuable insight into the pathophysiology and severity of all types of trauma. Wound ballistics can be used to identify blunt and penetrating trauma mechanisms. The mechanism of tissue injury can be combined, even though it may be either blunt trauma or pure blunt trauma. This study examined the literature on Blunt Trauma Mechanisms and Penetrating Trauma Mechanisms. Method and Material: This research was done using the internet to search for articles, researches, and papers (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases). The goal of this review is to examine the Hellenic as well as foreign bibliography between 1988 and today. Results: This model shows the relative ability of different tissue types to tolerate trauma, including blunt trauma. As with any other penetrating trauma agent, center-fire rifle bullets can crush tissue. The crushed tissue doesn’t survive. The blunt trauma caused by tissue displacement (temporary Cavitation) can also be caused by center-fire rifle bullets. Tissue elasticity and tissue cohesiveness are the main factors in how different tissues can survive blunt trauma. Conclusions: All tissues respond to blunt trauma and penetrating injury. This can help in explaining and predicting the severity and extent of trauma.
