Experimental investigation of fractures of thyroid cartilage
To determine how much force is necessary to break thyroid catilage, to determine place of fracture, and to correlate this results with age and sex of specimens. 68 thyroid cartilages (39 male and 29 female), isolated and fixed in formalin were subjected to pressure. We used a simple apparatus, and the applied pressure was gradually increased. Exact moment of breaking of thyroid cartilage and force that was used were recorded with help of computer software. We determined the exact force needed to break thyroid cartilage. Most of specimens broke at the connection of thyroid laminae. We also made correlations of our results with age and sex of the specimens. Fractures of thyroid cartilage are a frequent finding after a variety of neck injuries, often in manual strangulation or ligature strangulation. Results of our ressearch can be useful in forensic medicine to determine minimal force applied to produce fracture in victims of strangulation.
