MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HEAD STRUCTURE INJURIES IN PEDESTRIANS INJURED AS A RESULT OF COLLISIONS WITH MOVING VEHICLES - CHILDREN
Keywords:
car trauma, pedestrian - children, head structures, injuries, morphology, expert assessmentAbstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the nature and morphological features of head injuries caused by pedestrian collisions with moving cars. Research materials: the forensic examination of the bodies of 140 children who died in collisions with moving cars and the results of forensic examination of 302 pedestrians - children who suffered various degrees of injuries as a result of collisions with moving cars were analyzed. Results of the study: head injuries of pedestrians and children killed in traffic accidents are often (74%) accompanied by severe contusion and fractures of the frontal, temporal and facial bones. In pedestrians with moving cars - in cases where children do not die as a result of a collision - the damage to the structure of the head is most often (60.8%) manifested as a concussion, and relatively less - mainly frontal and temporal skulls, as well as facial bones. it is accompanied by fractures and brain contusions of various degrees (13.3%). Conclusion: the nature and localization of injuries to the head structures of pedestrians - children indicate that they are formed as a result of the inertial fall of children on the road surface (the 3rd stage of the accident).
