Analysis of the Injury-disease Relationship between Spondylolysis and Trauma in 26 Forensic Identifications / 法医学杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To expound the injury-disease relationship between spondylolysis and trauma for the points of forensic identification.@*METHODS@#Total 26 cases of spondylolysis were collected and the characteristics of this disease such as age, accompanied symptoms, treatment and injury manner were discussed.@*RESULTS@#The causal relationship existed between trauma and injury consequence in 2 appraised individuals and both of them aged less than 50 years old. The injury manners of both were high-energy injury with combined injury and these 2 patients were treated by operation.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The analysis of injury-disease relationship between spondylolysis and trauma should be paid attention in the middle-young age under 50 years old. More importantly, the injury-disease relationship should be analyzed in the patients who chose operative treatment.

Disability appraisal for common peroneal nerve injury in traffic accidents: 8 cases analysis / 法医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the characteristics of forensic clinical identification on common peroneal nerve injury in traffic accident.@*METHODS@#Eight cases of common peroneal nerve injury in traffic accidents were analyzed, including general condition of the wounded, the way of injury, the imaging results, the EMG results, and the degree of injury, etc.@*RESULTS@#In 8 cases, 2 cases of complete common peroneal nerve injury were determined to grade 9 (disability degree) and 6 cases of partial common peroneal nerve injury were determined to grade 10 (disability degree).@*CONCLUSION@#By comparison, the disability degree of complete common peroneal nerve injury is higher than that of partial common peroneal nerve injury. The forensic clinical identification of common peroneal nerve should be made with synthetical consideration of medical history, symptoms, and auxiliary examinations.

Analysis of 84 ocular disability cases in traffic accident / 法医学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To study the injury modes, the injury characteristics, the disability grade assessments and other relative problems in eye injuries after traffic accidents.@*METHODS@#Eighty four ocular disability cases after traffic accidents collected from March 2007 to March 2009 in our institute were retrospectively analyzed. Then to study the ocular disability reasons, the assessment time and methods.@*RESULTS@#The main cause of ocular disability is visual dysfunction, and the other causes for example eyeball missing, injury of eyelid, injury of lacrimal apparatus, traumatic cataract and defect of visual field were rare relatively. Most ocular injuries happened to single eye. The disability grades were often from VII to X.@*CONCLUSION@#The accuracy of visual function expertise could be improved by using some tests and visual electrophysiological measurements. The vision and ophthalmology data before the injury of the wounded who has intrinsical disease should be provided. The assessment time should be delayed for people whose visual function still may change.
