Perimortem trauma
Skeletal damage inflicted at or around the time of death, when the bone still retains its elastic properties. Distinguished from postmortem (after-death) damage by the presence of fresh fracture patterns: smooth bevelled edges, green-bone fracture characteristics, absence of staining at the fracture margin.
