impact from an edged object Explanation: The pain is triggered/caused by an edged object/impact from an edged object Not sure I would use "contact". Doesn't sound idiomatic in English. Compare with this: "Sharp force trauma is characterized by force to a limited area of bone at relatively low velocity, often caused by an edged object." https://books.google.com/books?id=UP5lDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA362&lpg=... |
