“…That analysis included accident events that took place during the period 1904-1907 in Germany [5]. Moreover, Butrym presented one of the first reports in Poland concerning that problem in 1924 [6]. In the following years, further researches were published concerning the increase in road accidents rates.…”

The number of fatal accidents and severe injuries, resulting from road accidents, may be reduced through applying an integrated approach to safety on roads. The strategies and programmes for improving road traffic should include the following measures: reducing the risk of exposure to an accident, prevention of accidents, reduction in bodily injuries sustained in accidents, and reduction of the effects of injuries by improvement of post-accident medical care.

“…The advantage of modeling in the study of traumatology [4] has been shown for the majority of solid organs [2] and bony structures [30] with good clinico-pathologic correlation [22]. These models improve understanding of mechanical lesions [10] and the connections between the injured structures, irrespective of the chosen model [11,26].…”

The model's application permitted us to analyze precisely the link between lateral impact trauma of the pelvic ring and lesions of the posterior urethra and to identify an urethra stretching prior to visualization of a pelvic fracture. Utilization of the model with other mechanisms of injury should allow for better comprehension of this associated trauma, improved prevention, iatrogenic aggravation of, and care for, these serious injuries.

“…The increasing capability of computers to solve mathematical simulations of dynamic impacts has made finite element analysis (FEA) an attractive tool for establishing human injury tolerance criteria (Yang et al 2006). FEA models are frequently used to predict injury based on local stress and strain within the tissue.…”

This study explores the relationship between impact severity and resulting pulmonary contusion (PC) for four impact conditions using a rat model of the injury. The force-deflection response from a Finite Element (FE) model of the lung was simultaneously matched to experimental data from distinct impacts via a genetic algorithm optimization. Sprague-Dawley rats underwent right-side thoracotomy prior to impact. Insults were applied directly to the lung via an instrumented piston. Five cohorts were tested: a sham group and four groups experiencing lung insults of varying degrees of severity. The values for impact velocity (V) and penetration depth (D) of the cohorts were Group 1, (V = 6.0 m · s(-1), D = 5.0 mm), Group 2, (V = 1.5 m · s(-1),D = 5.0 mm), Group 3, (V = 6 m · s(-1), D = 2.0 mm), and Group 4, (V = 1.5 m · s(-1), D = 2.0 mm). CT scans were acquired at 24 h, 48 h, and 1 week post-insult. Contusion volume was determined through segmentation. FE-based injury metrics for PC were determined at 24 h and 1 week post-impact, based on the observed volume of contusion and first principal strain. At 24 h post-impact, the volume of high radiopacity lung (HRL) was greatest for the severe impact group (mean HRL = 9.21 ± 4.89) and was significantly greater than all other cohorts but Group 3. The concurrent optimization matched simulated and observed impact energy within one standard deviation for Group 1 (energy = 3.88 ± 0.883 mJ, observed vs. 4.47 mJ, simulated) and Group 2 (energy = 1.46 ± 0.403 mJ, observed vs. 1.50 mJ, simulated) impacts. Statistically significant relationships between HRL and impact energy are presented. The FEA-based injury metrics at 24 h post-contusion are ε(max) · ε(max) exceeding 94.5 s(-1), ε (max) exceeding 0.284 and ε(max) exceeding 470 s(-1). Thresholds for injury to the lung still present at 1 week post-impact were also determined. They are ε(max) · ε(max) exceeding 149 s(-1), ε (max) exceeding 0.343 and ε(max) exceeding 573 s(-1). A mesh sensitivity study found that thresholds based on strain rate were more sensitive to changes to mesh density than the threshold based on strain only.
