"Skeletal Trauma: Identification of Injuries"

Skeletal trauma refers to injuries that affect the bones of the body, often resulting from accidents, falls, or violence. Identifying these injuries involves examining the bones for signs of damage, such as fractures, breaks, or unusual patterns. Medical professionals use imaging techniques like X-rays or CT scans to visualize these injuries. Understanding the type and severity of skeletal trauma helps in diagnosing the cause—whether it's an accident or abuse—and informs treatment decisions to ensure proper healing and recovery. It’s crucial in forensic science for legal investigations as well.
