Forensic Anthropology Summary

The Haversian system houses the blood vessels in Mrs. Morgan’s compact bone. The bone tissue sticking out the skin, the bruising and the extensive bleeding from the arm are the signs and symptoms related to the disruption of these structures by her bone fractures. The bleeding and the bone tissue sticking out of the skin shows how the blood vessels within the Haversian system, such as the periosteal arteries supplying the outer area and the nutrient artery which supplies the inner part of bone have been disrupted. The disruption of these arteries within the Haversian system will then make Mrs Morgan’s humerus susceptible to avascular necrosis.

It should be similar to your right but there can be differences like if damage was done to one side or if one side was mutated and disfigured.

I would check the bones to see if there are missing and write it down. I would also check to see if the bones are all over the place.

Anconeus - It's attachments are the lateral epicondyle of humerus, olecranon process of ulna, and ulna blade. When it contracts

The parties again utilized Dr. Previte as the AME. In his report dated May 23, 2015, Dr. Previte found impairment to both wrists. Interestingly, he apportioned 50% of the right arm impairment to the cumulative trauma injury ending on January 14, 2006. He then apportioned another 50% of the right arm impairment as well as 100% of the left arm impairment to the other cumulative trauma injury ending on March 2,

Te delicate operation of reconstruction was carried out byMr. E. Smith, the parts which contain the brain being successfully assembled, all save the hinder part of the head, a defeat which did not prevent exact estimates being formed as to the original shape and size of the skull. Fortunately too, it was possible to restore the greater part of the face. The lower jaw and part of the nose are missing-but enough has been preserved to give an exact picture of the original features of the face.

The samples used in this study were obtained from the Poulton collection housed at Liverpool John Morres University. Due to the small size of the collection at present and the poor condition of some of the bones, a total number of 18 left sided femora were selected for use in the study. These femora were chosen on the basis of completeness and measurability. All the samples were obtained from adults skeletal remains and the number of male and females femora was 10 and 8 respectively.

Diagnosis is confirmed by X-ray of the wrist. This is important to understand the extent of the injury. A posterior-anterior (PA), lateral, and oblique radiographs of the distal radius that include the carpal bones should be obtained. All three radiographs should be examined for a loss of normal anatomy, disruption of the articular surface, involvement of the distal radio-ulnar and radiocarpal joints, and evidence of comminution (Villet 2011).

Complete or faulty union of the scaphoid is causing a flexion deformity of the scaphoid but and possibly an ulnar translocation or rotation of the distal fragment of the radius, although, the study remain unclear (Singh & Dias 2012). In a cadaveric research, the imitated scaphoid malunion contributing to limited wrist extension motion and this was correlative to the deviation of angulation (Burgess, 1987).

There are many factors involved in the determination of perimortem trauma time in both forensic pathology and forensic anthropology. This is critical information when it comes to legal issues or the interpretation of prehistoric bone fractures. There is an extensive difference in fracture properties that depend both on the time that has passed since death, and the type of environment where the specimen has been exposed after death.

The earliest documentation regarding proximal humerus fractures was by the Egyptians dating back to 1600 BC. The Edwin Smith Papyrus (copied circa 1600 BC) in columns XII and XIII has documented about three cases of proximal humerus treated by bandaging and splinting technique [Figure 1]. 1

more common anterior dislocation, but the shaft of the humerus is parallel to the spine

General characterristics – The material MCP-4275-PV represents the right ramus of a hemimandible of about 500mm length, which is divided in two parts due a median fracture of taphonomic process. It is noticed that the material was folded over the preservation process, which the anterior part reached out the posterior part causing the break. The hemimandible features the lower anterior portion to the rear with respectively 33mm and 102mm roughly. The glenoid cavity lay beyond the dorsal limit of the dentary bone, suggesting a decreasing anteroposterior height pattern. It features a side compression in the fullest extent. There is a damage in the posterior end, where is positioned the post-glenoid area (PGA), and in the anterior end, where lay

Codman in 1934 was the first to observe that there were four major fracture fragments when a proximal humerus fracture occurred, and that these occurred in varying combinations depending on the mechanism of injury . These fragments were the articular head, the greater and lesser tuberosities, and the humeral shaft.1,2,122
