Do we really need new medical information about the Turin Shroud?

Abstract

Image processing of the Turin Shroud (TS) shows that the Man represented 
in it has undergone an under glenoidal dislocation of the humerus on the 
right side and lowering of the shoulder, and has a flattened hand and 
enophthalmos; conditions that have not been described before, despite 
several studies on the subject. These injuries indicate that the Man 
suffered a violent blunt trauma to the neck, chest and shoulder from 
behind, causing neuromuscular damage and lesions of the entire brachial 
plexus. The posture of the left claw-hand is indicative of an injury of 
the lower brachial plexus, as is the crossing of the hands on the pubis, 
not above the pubis as it would normally be, and are related to traction 
of the limbs as a result of the nailing to the patibulum. The 
disappearance of the thumbprints is because of entrainment of the flexor 
pollicis longus tendons while the nails were driven through the wrists. 
The blunt chest trauma, which resulted in the body falling forwards, was 
the direct cause of a lung contusion and haemothorax, confirmed by the 
post-mortem leakage of clots and serum from the chest caused by the 
stabbing with the spear, and was a likely cause of cardiac contusion. 
All the evidence is in favour of the hypothesis that the TS Man is Jesus 
of Nazareth.
