Skeletal evidence of trauma
Traumatic lesions may be divided into contusions, wounds, fractures, dislocations, post-traumatic deformations and artificially induced deformations. Contusions and wounds generally affect the soft tissue; when these affect the bone, marks left persist indefinitely. Fractures consist in continuous lesions, complete or incomplete lesions, with or without displacement of residual fragments, the bone response to which should result in the immediate increase in vascularisation and formation of callus. Serious trauma may cause articular dislocation, that is lack of reciprocal relationships between the articular surfaces of an articulation, which, if lost, leads to degeneration of cartilage and bone modifications through time (secondary osteoarthritis). Cultural practices such as trepanation, that is the perforation and/or deep incision of the bone shelf, amputations, intentional bone deformations may cause skeletal alterations.
