title: [The forensic medical determination of the site of the external application of force by the bone microdamages].
abstract: The article deals with new approach to determination of site of outer force application. Investigation of bone grind pieces from zones of supposed external action resulted in detection of microfissures whose maximal concentration corresponded to the point of force application. It was stated that these microfissures precede fracture formation and occur as a result of bone loading due to plastic deformation. That's why even in bones which experienced prethreshold loads microfissures are always detected and used as expert criteria for determination of site of outer force application. Zones of soft tissue lesions, signs of permanent (residual) bone deformity in fractures of adjacent bones serve as reference points for cutting bone fragments out and using them to prepare bone grind pieces.
