Resumen

The breakage planes of bones have diversely been usedto classify breakage patterns. However, no diagnosis seemsto be currently valid to differentiate between humans andcarnivores as the main breaking agents. This work presentsthe results of experimentation focused on the analysis of theangles of each plane between the cortical and medullarysurfaces resulting from breakage. It is shown that this ap-proach can be fairly resolutive since both types of agentsbreak bones through different physical processes (percus-sion and pression) which produce different angles in eachfracture episode, as a result of the use of dynamic and staticloading processes.
