Injuries caused by blunt force are seen frequently in daily forensic casework. Sometimes, especially when there is less information about the surrounding circumstances, it might become difficult to figure out the cause and background of injuries: accident, criminal violence or self-infliction? In the study presented, face injuries caused by blunt force in 694 cases were analyzed comparing the injury patterns in accidents to those in crimes. It turned out injuries of the ear and retroauricular region clearly indicate a crime. Also, soft tissue injuries of nose, upper jaw, and lower jaw point towards a criminal violence, whereas tooth injuries occur with a similar frequency in both crimes and accidents.
钝器伤在日常法医案件工作中屡见不鲜。有时，尤其是在关于周围环境的信息较少时，可能难以弄清楚受伤的原因和背景：是意外、刑事暴力还是自我伤害？在本研究中，分析了694例钝器所致面部损伤，比较了事故和犯罪中的损伤模式。结果表明，耳部和耳后区域的损伤明显表明是犯罪行为。此外，鼻子、上颌和下颌的软组织损伤指向刑事暴力，而牙齿损伤在犯罪和事故中的发生频率相似。
