Très schématiquement, on distingue les plaies par arme blanche des plaies par arme à feu. Pour les armes blanches, on détermine les caractéristiques de taille et de longueur. On peut ainsi suspecter, devant un orifice limité, des lésions viscérales profondes. Une plaie ponctiforme due à une arme blanche telle une baïonnette ou une flèche est particulièrement vulnérante, malgré la taille limitée de l'orifice. 2, record 1, French, - plaie%20par%20arme%20blanche
