Resumen
RODES LLORET, F. et al. A proposal for a method of forensic medical evaluation of the aesthetic damage of scarring. Cuad. med. forense [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.1-2, pp.13-19. ISSN 1988-611X. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1135-76062013000100003.
One of the main activities in the medical forensic area is the evaluation of aesthetic damage. There are different methods reported in the literature to perform this evaluation, but only three are intended solely for the aesthetic damage caused by scarring. We propose, in this paper, a method for evaluation the damage forensic aesthetic scars: initially three parameters are evaluated and given a numerical value: the area of the body, the length in cm and distance at which the scar is seen. Each of these parameters is pondered differently in the overall evaluation of aesthetic damage. The result may be increased or decreased depending on the degree of deformity and scar color, applying a crossed table. The final result (out of 100) can be divided by two to assimilate the RDL 8/2004 containing the scale, currently applicable to the assessment of the consequences of an accident.
