Abstract: Mechanical violence is a common cause of injuries found in criminal cases in Indonesia. This study aimed to describe the wound patterns and degrees of injury in mechanical violence cases at a Type B Regional General Hospital in North Sulawesi Province during the period of July 2023 to June 2025. This was a retrospective and descriptive study. The results obtained 32 patients with a total of 54 injuries analyzed based on medical records and Visum et Repertum. Blunt-force trauma was the most frequent type (75%), followed by sharp-force injuries (18.8%). The majority of patients sustained single injuries (62.5%) with mild to moderate severity. Lacerations, contusions, and abrasions were the most common wound types, predominantly measuring 1–5 cm, with the head as the most frequent location. In conclusion, mechanical violence is dominated by blunt trauma, producing single injuries of mild to moderate severity. Variations in wound patterns are influenced by impact energy, force direction, and the interaction between perpetrator and victim. Therefore, wound pattern analysis holds significant importance for event reconstruction, legal enforcement, and violence prevention strategies.
