Long path of bullet Long path of bullet - Energy degradation occurs deep in tissues
- Large amount of damage through cavitation
- Entrance and exit wounds may be small
With higher velocities damage to tissue away from are of impact can occur With higher velocities damage to tissue away from are of impact can occur Tissue in front of projectile is compressed - Moves away in form of shock wave
- At about speed of sound in water
- 4800 ft/sec
- Faster than bullet (except very high velocity)
- Thus, nerve impairment with bullet wound does not indicate nerve transection
Other factors in injury Other factors in injury - Wadding
- Embeds into wound
- Contaminates wound, infection
- Must be identified and removed
