Book Synopsis

Pathology of Sharp Force Trauma illustrates and details sharp force trauma as seen in forensic pathology case work as well as in the clinical setting, outlining how one informs the other in interpreting such trauma for medico-legal purposes.

For the purposes of discussion, the author defines sharp force trauma as: The application of force to produce an injury which results in a clear division or separation of the skin and underlying tissues. Sharp force trauma may be caused by all manner of implements with a sharp edge and/or pointed end, whether or not they have been produced for use as a weapon, and includes knives, broken glass, scissors and many others, to name but a few. Certain tools, such as axes or machetes, combine a sharp edge with heavy weight and produce injuries with both sharp and blunt impact elements.

In many countries, with the exception of those where firearms are readily available, sharp force traumaâparticularly the use of knivesâis the most common
