Blunt Trauma

Blunt trauma refers to an injury caused by an impact or force that does not break the skin, unlike cuts or lacerations. This type of trauma typically occurs from falls, car accidents, or physical assaults where the body is struck by an object or another person. Common injuries from blunt trauma include bruises, fractures, organ damage, and concussions. Unlike penetrating injuries, blunt trauma affects the body's internal structures, which may not be immediately visible but can result in serious complications. Prompt medical evaluation is often necessary to assess and treat such injuries effectively.
