Computational simulation of skull fracture patterns in pediatric subjects using a porcine model
… the head, as comprehensive biomechanical data on skull fracture in infants and children do not currently exist, and frequently the determination regarding cause of injury is based on anecdotal evidence from the medical literature and unsubstantiated eyewitness accounts. The current process may …

Investigation of wound characteristics and the force associated with skull fracture due to impact by a hammer
… dissertation offers background information on fracture mechanics and impact biomechanics and provides a current review of the literature surrounding lateral impact to the skull. The research conducted as part of this dissertation attempts to quantify the force and energy involved with lateral …

Development of a test method for evaluating safety helmets' ability to reduce skull fracture and brain injury risk from falls in construction
… helmets' ability to reduce brain injury and skull fracture risk. The results show that fall-arrest movements associated with bracing can lower the head impact severity from a fall, providing insights into appropriate head impact velocities for safety helmet testing. Through analyzing fall …

Clinical Analysis for the Diagnostic Accuracy of Three Dimensional Computed Tomography and Simple Radiography in the Pediatric Head Injury Patients with Skull Fracture
목적: 단순 방사선촬영에 의한 두개골절의 진단은 두부손상에 대한 가장 기본적인 척도중의 하나이지만 소아에서는 나이가 어릴수록 두개골의 골화가 이루어지지 않아서 단순 방사선촬영에 의한 두개골절의 진단율이 성인에 비하여 낮아질 것으로 추측되고 있다. 최근에 3차원 CT에 의한 두개골절의 진단율이 신생아에서부터 유아까지도 단순 방사선 촬영에 의한 두개골절의 진단율보다 더 높다는 주장이 제기되고 있지만 모든 단순두개골촬영을 3차원 CT로 대체하기도 어려운 것이 현실이다. 이에 연구자는 단순 방사선촬영과 3차원 CT에 의한 소아두개골절의 …

Investigation of blunt injuries and the force associated with a skull fracture due to impact with a Hopkinson pressure bar : an animal model
… Often the lateral aspect of the cranium is fractured in homicidal assaults, however, the focus of head injury biomechanics has been the frontal bone. This is due to automotive-related incidents. Thus it is important for researchers to broaden their knowledge on lateral head impacts. This …

Using Laboratory Impact Devices to Quantify Football Helmet Performance
… of leather and designed to reduce the risk of skull fracture. Initially, football helmets were intended to protect a player against the most severe hits they would experience on the field. More recently, it has been shown that mild traumatic brain injuries, such as concussions, can induce …

Quantifying the Characteristics of Real-World Bicycle Helmet Impacts
… rider's risk of severe head injuries, such as skull fracture. In order to sell a bike helmet, it must meet a minimum standard of protection based on linear acceleration of the head upon impact. However, bike helmet impacts are not completely linear in nature and experience a tangential …

Neuropsychological impairment in children following head injury
… (PTA) over 1 hour, a compound depressed or basal skull fracture, a seizure, or any evidence of neurological involvement, was collected (n=388). Further requirements that they should be between 6 and 14 years, English or Afrikaans speaking, and have no history of significant cerebral pathology or …

Occupational Head Protection: Considerations for Test Methods and Use
… risks. Type 2 hard hats substantially reduced skull fracture and concussion risk when compared to Type 1, indicating that if more workers wore Type 2 hard hats the risk of severe head injuries in the construction industry would be reduced. Next, this thesis compared real-world motorsport crash …
