Abstract

A critical review is made of the studies on wound healing used for forensic purposes, focusing on the problem of which characteristics indicate that a parameter could be used as evidence in court. A panel analysing the more important information obtained by each marker is given, and a perspective of what might be expected from future research is discussed.
