Workflow for accurate injury reconstruction in forensic investigations

Abstract: We present a workflow developed for injury reconstruction in forensic investigations. The workflow comprises four steps: defining the injury, planning the analysis, conducting the analysis and discussing the results of the analysis. The critical step is the discussion of the analysis in which all data are assessed for consistency. In particular, the discussion includes comparison of the data derived from the case material with independent objective data acquired through analysis. Any inconsistency becomes grounds for reassessment of the original assumptions and possible additional analysis to bring all data into harmony. Only after all inconsistencies have been resolved can conclusions be drawn.
