Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite contributions that explore the latest advancements in diagnosing and managing trauma surgery. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the field's current state, highlighting innovative diagnostic techniques, cutting-edge treatment modalities, and interdisciplinary approaches to trauma care. We welcome submissions on a broad range of topics within the scope of trauma surgery, including but not limited to:

Advanced diagnostic imaging and techniques;

Surgical interventions and treatment strategies;

Management of multi-trauma patients;

Trauma system development and implementation;

Rehabilitation and long-term outcomes;

Innovations in trauma care technology;

Forensic analysis and reconstruction of trauma events;

Timing and dynamics of trauma;

Multidisciplinary approaches involving forensic medicine, pathology, and other specialties.

This Special Issue seeks to bring together leading scientists, clinicians, and researchers to share their expertise and findings, fostering collaboration and driving forward the science and practise of trauma surgery. Your contributions will be crucial in advancing our understanding and improving patient outcomes in this critical field.

Death from falls accounts for a significant number of injuries and fatalities globally, often linked to suicides, workplace accidents, or substance abuse, and rarely to homicidal causes. Injuries from falls vary based on height, impact point, and surface struck, with severe trauma often seen, including visceral ruptures, organ lacerations, and complex fractures. Even minimal external injuries can mask severe internal damage, such as multiple organ ruptures, organ tears, and large vessel lacerations. Blunt cardiac injuries, which occur in 5% to 50% of falls, are significant, especially in falls over 6 m. In 70% of the cases, cardiac rupture is observed at the level of the posterior wall of the heart and occurs due to a contusive action on the heart during the diastolic filling phase. We report a case of a 29-year-old man (weight 95 kg) who died from an 11-meter fall. He had a history of cardiac surgery for the transposition of the great vessels, and an autopsy revealed extensive cardiac rupture, likely worsened by fibrotic adhesions anchoring the heart to the pericardium. Toxicological investigations on peripheral blood showed BAC > 2.58 g/L. Heart scars, macro- and microscopically as a deposit of fibrous tissue, due to previous surgery, may have contributed to the extent of the lesion, suggesting the need for further study on post-operative tissue changes and their effects on trauma from falls.
