    This document discusses the pathophysiology of blunt injuries in police officers. It identifies age and gender as non-modifiable predisposing factors, while occupation, assigned duty area, and job-related stress are modifiable precipitating factors. When blunt injuries like gunshot wounds or fractures occur, they can cause bleeding, hematoma formation, bone tissue death, and an intense inflammatory response - leading to edema, pain, and impaired function.

    Pathophysiology

    Precipitating Factors
    Predisposing Factors (Modifiable)
    (Non-Modifiable) Occupation/ Job (Police
    Age Officer)
    Gender (Male) Assigned/Area of Duty as a
    Police
    Activity/ Stress

    Blunt Injury
    (Gun Shot Wound)

    Break in the skin


    (tissue damage)

    Injury to Femur/ Fracture

    bleeding from damaged ends of bone


    & from surrounding tissue

    hematoma
    (within medullary canal, between the
    fractured ends of bone & beneath periosteum)

    bone tissue adjacent of the fracture immediately dies

    stimulates intense-inflammatory response


    (vasodilation, exudation of plasma & leukocytes, growth factors &
    mast cells that simultaneously decalcify the fractured bone end)

    increased capillary permeability

    fluid/cellular exudation

    Edema

    Pain
    (swelling causes pain that
    compressed the nerve endings)

    impaired function
