Abstract

The study of the nature and characteristics of the course of mechanical damage of the complex larynx for the tasks of
forensic medical examination. Materials and methods: On the material of expertise special methods were investigated 12 cases on
injured complex of larynx, occurring on variety types of enforced death. Results: in general, the mechanisms of formation of injuries
of the hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage from compression of the neck by a loop and due to mechanical injury are
similar, since the localization and nature of fractures depends on which direction the compression occurs. Conclusion: There was
established that the whole mechanisms injury formation of subglossal bone, thyroid cartilage and annular cartilage from prelum
cervix loop and mechanical traumas analogous between each other, in that being localization and character fractures depending
on that directions where occurs pressure. It is marked, during analyzing injured complex of larynx allows not only fractographical
properties, localization and capacity of determined fractures, but also type, directions and mechanism actions of traumatic agency,
as well as presence of anatomical particularity changes occurring owing to early carried trauma.
