Mechanical trauma of adequate force, whatever the nature of the agent, usually leads to a wound. The latter may be limited to the tissues covering the outer and inner surface of the body, namely skin and mucous membranes, giving rise to a superficial injury, or may involve as well one or more of the deeper structures like bone leading to fracture. Examination of an injury in both living and dead is an important medico-legal issue in the field of crime investigation to fix the liability. A doctor is required to date injuries specifically and individually while preparing an injury report. In this study the sequential Gross and Histopathological Changes at the Site of Fracture injuries were studied and compared the findings with available standard data.
