In an autopsy, how does the examiner, for example, deduce that the victim has been slain x-amount of times with a weapon?

Question

Sometimes, when I’m watching true crime, they will say something like “the victim was struck 33 times with a hammer,” or “41 times with an axe,” etc. If it’s all in the same place, how do they maintain an accurate count? Wouldn’t it all be mush? How can they be exact?
