title: [New data on morphogenesis of gunshot bone injuries].
abstract: Studies with the use of atomic-force and scanning electron microscopy yielded new data that extend our knowledge of the complicated process underlying bone tissue degeneration as a result of its interaction with a high-speed injurious projectile. These data open up good prospects for the study of gunshot wounds and provide novel opportunities for forensic medical examination and diagnostics including confirmation of gunshot origin of the injury, elucidation of the properties (in the first place, energetic characteristics) of the injurious projectile, and determination of the wound size.
