| dc.description.abstract | Stabbing injuries are likened to an iceberg as the seemingly small laceration or puncture wound provides a marker below which major organ of vessel trauma may exist. Low velocity pentrating injuries commonly occur in the younger adult male. In a study of 80, 20-39 year olds in a major trauma unit in the north of England, 71 cases of penetrating injuries involved males. This paper considers the mechanism of injury/attack, altered physiology, trauma management taises the issue of legislative change in the restriction of knife sales inorder to protect the public. | en |
