Relationship with sex-based anatomical differences to lower extremity injury severity in frontal crashes

The area of subcutaneous tissue at the level of the ASIS was significantly associated with increased severity of lower extremity injuries, especially in the hip-thigh-knee region. This measurement was higher in females and may account for some of the observed differences in injury risk between sexes.

Abstract

The area of subcutaneous tissue at the level of the ASIS was significantly associated with increased severity of lower extremity injuries, especially in the hip-thigh-knee region. This measurement was higher in females and may account for some of the observed differences in injury risk between sexes.
