Blunt Force Trauma
Blunt force trauma refers to physical injuries caused by impact from a non-sharp object. This type of trauma can occur in various situations, such as car accidents, falls, or assaults. The injuries can range from bruises and contusions to more severe damage like fractures or internal bleeding.
The severity of blunt force trauma depends on factors like the force of the impact and the area of the body affected. Commonly injured areas include the head, chest, and limbs. Medical evaluation is essential to assess the extent of injuries and determine appropriate treatment, which may involve imaging tests and surgical intervention.
