AB Every  “weapon”  (hand,  belt,  hot  iron,  knife,  electrical  cord,  baseball  bat,  tire  iron)  can  leave  a  mark,  design,  or  pattern  stamped  or  imprinted  upon  or  just  below  the  level  of  the  epithelium.  The  imprints  of  these  weapons  are  called  pattern  injuries,  which  are  considerably  reproducible.  These  injuries  can  be  categorized  into  three  major  classifications  according  to  their  source:  sharp-force,  blunt-force,  and  thermal-pattern  injuries.
