Kinematics of Trauma
Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death of Americans, especially in persons under the age of 45, causing 214,000 deaths every year. This data equates to an individual dying every three minutes from a traumatic etiology. Trauma, in all its forms, led to 2.8 million hospitalizations, and nearly 28 million emergency department visits in the most recent year, as studied by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC).
