These are worked-up in great detail in Germany.<ref name=Gazov>Evgenij Gazov. LMU Rechtsmedizin. 8 July 2011. Possibly described more here: [http://www.reference-global.com/doi/abs/10.1515/9783899496079.1027 http://www.reference-global.com/doi/abs/10.1515/9783899496079.1027]</ref> | |||
Process: | |||
*Pre-evaluation - if a larynx injury is suspected: | |||
**The larynx should '''not''' be opened. | |||
**Soft tissue should be removed with blunt dissection. | |||
*Evaluation: | |||
**Tension - splits/tears, bleeding. | |||
**Compression - surrounding tissue no splits/tears. | |||
**Partial fractures - give information about directionality. | |||
Recognized patterns: | |||
*Left horn of thyroid cartilage fracture - choking with left-handed. | |||
*Right horn of thyroid cartilage fracture - choking with right-hand. | |||
*Cricoid cartilage two fractures anteriolateral - choke hold from behind. | |||
