Background: Any portion of the body that has sustained damage due to mechanical force is referred to as an injury or wound. Weapon use, blunt force, and sharp force can all cause mechanical injuries. In many nations, the most common method of homicide is the use of sharp objects, particularly knives. One of a forensic pathologist's main responsibilities in the realm of forensics is wound examination. By identifying prospective criminal suspects and tracking the origin and progression of violent occurrences, wound assessment supports criminal investigations. Aim: The current review provides a view on wounds/injuries, their classifications, incised wounds, how to differentiate them from lacerations, and the importance of wound examination in the field of forensics. Conclusion: In summary, researchers have classified wounds/injuries according to many factors, and they frequently emphasize the significance of wound examination in the field of forensics.
