TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Injury mechanisms in extreme violence settings JO - Cirugia y Cirujanos A1 - Arcáute-Velázquez, Fernando Federico A1 - García-Núñez, Luis Manuel A1 - Noyola-Vilallobos, Héctor Faustino A1 - Espinoza-Mercado, Fernando A1 - Rodríguez-Vega, Carlos Eynar SP - 257 EP - 262 VL - 84 IS - 3 N2 - Extreme violence events are consequence of current world-wide economic, political and social conditions. Injury patterns found among victims of extreme violence events are very complex, obeying several high-energy injury mechanisms. In this article, we present the basic concepts of trauma kinematics that regulate the clinical approach to victims of extreme violence events, in the hope that clinicians increase their theoretical armamentarium, and reflecting on obtaining better outcomes.
