Virtopsy—noninvasive detection of occult bone lesions in postmortem MRI: additional information for traffic accident reconstruction

“…The impact injuries caused by a car's front shock-absorbing structure are located mostly in the region of the lower extremities and depend on the size and posture of the struck person as well as on the shape of the car. If a wedge-shaped bending fracture of the long bone occurs, with convex fracture lines, a so-called Messerer wedge [8], the direction of the force effect can be determined by the basis of the shape of the fracture lines [9][10][11]. This can give clues for the impact position reconstruction.…”

Application of 3D documentation and geometric reconstruction methods in traffic accident analysis: With high resolution surface scanning, radiological MSCT/MRI scanning and real data based animation

“…As frequently described in collisions involving harm to persons, fractures of the lower leg were seen in both cases. Due to the force against these long bones, the wedge fractures described by Messerer arise [17][18][19][20].…”

Haptics in forensics: The possibilities and advantages in using the haptic device for reconstruction approaches in forensic science
