Penetrating Trauma where something enters the body (i.e. a bullet or knife) and Blunt Force Trauma (i.e. a punch).
A blast effect that causes penetrating trauma due to shrapnel is known as a fragmentation blast effect. Shrapnel refers to the fragments of materials propelled by the explosion, causing injuries by penetrating the body.
Secondary blast effect
Secondary blast effect
High-velocity blast effects, such as those produced by explosions from high explosives, can cause penetrating trauma from shrapnel. The force of the blast propels fragments of debris at high speeds, impacting and penetrating the body. These penetrating injuries can lead to severe damage to tissues and organs.
The rib cage provides the most protection to the abdominal viscera. The ribs wrap around the viscera, such as the liver and spleen, helping to shield them from external trauma. The sternum at the front of the rib cage also contributes to protecting the organs in the abdominal cavity.
Trauma to a joint implies that it has been injured in some way and pain indicates that it is painful.
a vascular necrosis
The first and most commonly injured ligament is the anterior talofibular ligament because of its orientation at the instant of injury and its inherent weakness. In planter flexion it aligns with the fibula, followed by calceneofibular lig.and rarely followed by PTFL
Penetrating trauma caused by shrapnel is usually attributed to the "shrapnel effect" in a blast. This occurs when the blast wave from an explosion propels objects or fragments at high velocity, causing penetration of the surrounding structures and potentially injuring humans in the vicinity.
