abstract="The objective of this work was to study the structure and the totality of injuries associated with the fatal combined traumas in the children of different age based on the materials of forensic medical examination of children's corpses (115 original observations and 188 archived cases). The children died as a results of road traffic accidents or a fall from the height. It was shown that the structure of the combined trauma strongly depends on the children's age. Head injuries prevailed in the children under the age of 3 years whereas the frequency of this trauma decreased with age. On the contrary, the number of injuries to the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities increased with the age of the children. Moreover, the age was an important factor influencing the extent of all injuries and the severity of combined traumas. These parameters increased with increasing age.<p /> <p>Language: ru</p>",
