[Forensic medical assessment of injuries caused by ice cracking tools].

The work purpose is to identify objective morphological traits of punctured and stab and slash wounds obtained as a result of using the ice cracking tools. An experimental injury to the skin was carried out, followed by the study and analysis of morphological signs of wounds. It was established that, depending on the design features of the ice-cracking tools and the conditions of injury, the injuries have a number of similar characteristics with wounds from the other puncturing and stab and slash articles, as well as they have certain morphological features.
