We have developed the criteria allowing to determine the distance of a gunshot from limited-range firearms (an IZh-79-9TGM pistol with the elastic bullet cartridges) based on the morphological characteristics of the wound and the results of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The method has been developed for the quantitative determination of barium, lead, and antimony in the targets depending on the gunshot distance.

The present paper is devoted to the forensic medical estimation of the harm to health inflicted to the victims of ankle joint injuries with reference to the role and significance of traditional goniometry in the practical work of traumatologists, orthopedists and forensic medical experts. It is shown that the use of goniometric data alone as the sole criterion for the estimation of the harm to health in case of ankle joint injuries is unjustified and hampers further development of this field of forensic medicine.
