A Case of Traumatic Asphyxia due to Motorcycle Accident

Background. Perthe's syndrome (traumatic asphyxia) is rare, which is caused by sudden compressive chest trauma and characterized by subconjunctival hemorrhage, facial edema, craniocervical cyanosis, and petechiae on the upper chest and face and should always be kept in mind as a possible complication of injuries of the chest and abdomen. Case Report. In this case report a 36-years-old male pati...

Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction Part I - Physical Models

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate different formulas which are used to estimate the motorcycle’s pre-collision speed in motorcycle-to-car accidents. These formulas are based on measurable physical parameters such as motorcycle’ wheelbase change and fundamental physical laws such as conservation of momentum. The evaluation used data from crash experiments performed by the authors as well ...

Traumatic elbow instability.

Trauma can render the elbow unstable via a combination of bone and ligament injuries. Some of these injuries feature subluxation rather than dislocation of the elbow. Effective treatment centers on restoring enough of the bony and ligamentous structures to keep the elbow in joint so that recovery can proceed as for a simple elbow dislocation. Recognition of distinct patterns of injury can help ...
