FORENSIC MEDICAL ASSESSMENT OF MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHANGES IN THE LIVER IN CLOSED WOUNDS OF THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY

Abstract

Promising in solving the forensic medical determination of the circumstances
of blunt trauma (type of impact, direction, force and area of the traumatic surface) based on the
morphology of liver injuries is an in-depth study of the issues of the formation mechanism and the
establishment of the morphological characteristics of local and distant liver injuries. The location
and severity of liver injuries provide valuable information about the conditions of blunt abdominal
trauma. The search for morphological equivalents of the processes of compression, stretching and
shear in liver injuries seems important for solving forensic issues.
