Extrinsic factors
• Importance : duration, direction and sequence of forces
• Rate of loading
• Stress : internal resistance resulting of the application of an external load

Intrinsic factors
• Resistance of bone (haversian bone, medullary bone)
• Influence of ageing and pathology (osteoporosis, tumor…)

• Low rate of loading
– Little energy absorbed : creation of linear fractures or no fracture
• High rate of loading
– Absorption of a high rate of energy : concentric fractrures or comminuted

Exemple of exit

- Sometimes could have blunt trauma shape in case of suture or preexisting fracture
- Minimum beveling

• Primary fracture
• Secondary fracture
• Tertiary fracture

Morphology of ballistic fracture
• Primary fractures
– Plug formation– Bevelling
formation– « Petalling » in
thin bones

Entrance/Exit
• The magitude of entrance associated fractures (radial, concentric) are often greater than exit associated fractures.

Absence of radial or concentric fractures
KE was totaly absorbed by primary fracture
- long distance shot
- low velocity bullet

Caliber determination by size of entrance wound ?
• Usualy bigger than the caliber because of the yaw
![Page 18: 1 + distance of the target + intermediate target Wound severity Tissue absortion of the KE is the most important and not KE potentialy possessed by the](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f295503460f94c42c40/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Caliber determination
• It may never be possible to identify the specific caliber from a simple measurement of the defect
Berryman, Smith, Symes. JFS 1995

« Indirect fractures »?
• HV bullet passes near the bone but does not contact it directly
• Caused by the high pressure due to the expanding cavity

Need to keep bones
– Evidence for Court
– Understand the mechanism of fractures and the path of the projectile
– Education

CONCLUSION
• Importance of path/anthropo collaboration
• Importance to compare skin and bones
• Importance of X-ray (3D?)
• Importance to make a meticulous reconstruction

CONCLUSION
• Mecanism of ballistic trauma are the same on all the bones
• Importance to differentiate HV trauma and LV trauma
• Not realy possible to predict a bullet diameter from the orifice (often smaller than their diameter)
