Of use and applicable to all forensic pathologists throughout the world, the book covers all aspects of the pathology of sharp force trauma and its clinico-pathological interrelationship from the forensic (medico-legal perspective). It is intended to be a reference manual and practical guide for pathologists. Globally, most sharp force trauma is caused by knife injuries; hence, the emphasis will be based on such injuries although other implements and objects such as glass will also be described and fully illustrated in color in great detail.
