The injury findings in 58 perpetrators and 158 victims surviving bodily injuries due to sharp force are presented here. Defence injuries were found in 45.9% of the victims without any significant differences between males and females. There was no clear predominance of defence injuries on the left forearm and hand, as is known from autopsy studies; the right and the left hands were affected with an almost identical frequency. Regarding other parts of the victims' bodies, the topographic distribution of injuries showed a marked concentration on the left side (63.7%). The thorax, head and neck were frequently affected (45.9%, 15.3% and 15.3%, respectively), and less often the abdomen (11.1%), the lumbar and gluteal region (6.3%) and the lower extremities (6.1%). In surviving victims with only one singular stab apart from the upper limbs, the incidence of additional defence injuries on the hands and/or forearms was significantly higher (28.3%) than in fatalities. When the perpetrators had unintentionally cut their own hands, the frequency of these injuries on the right and left hands was almost equal.
本文呈现了58名因锐器致身体受伤的行凶者以及158名受伤后幸存的受害者的损伤情况。45.9%的受害者身上发现有防御伤，男性和女性之间无显著差异。与尸检研究中所知的情况不同，左前臂和手部并未明显更易出现防御伤；右手和左手受到影响的频率几乎相同。关于受害者身体的其他部位，损伤的地形分布显示明显集中在左侧（63.7%）。胸部、头部和颈部经常受到影响（分别为45.9%、15.3%和15.3%），而腹部（11.1%）、腰部和臀部区域（6.3%）以及下肢（6.1%）较少受到影响。在除上肢外仅有一处单一刺伤的幸存受害者中，手部和/或前臂出现额外防御伤的发生率（28.3%）显著高于死亡者。当行凶者意外割伤自己的手时，右手和左手这些损伤的频率几乎相等。
