Abstract

In the autopsy material of the Innsbruck University Institute for Legal Medicine, from the years 1979 to 1988, in 919 road accident victims, 171 cases of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture were found. On the basis of this large material, it could be concluded that the side of rupture depends mainly on the site of impact and that, contrary to clinical studies, there is no significant prevail of left-sided rupture.
