A RARE CASE OF DIAPHYSISAL FRACTURES OF THE SHIN BONES IN A CHILD WHEN JUMPING ON A TRAMPOLINE. WAYS TO PREVENT EXPERT ERRORS USING COMPLEX ANALYSIS OF RADIOGRAPHY DATA AND CASE MATERIALS: A CASE FROM PRACTICE

Abstract

Relevance. Given the significant contribution of childhood injuries to the structure of common problems associated with the health of the child, it is important during the examination to determine the exact mechanism of fractures, in particular, diaphyseal fractures of the shin bones, since the specification of the mechanism for the formation of bodily injuries leads to the actual origins of injuries and allows further development a set of preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of these situations, moreover, it sometimes makes it possible to accurately distribute the burden of responsibility for what happened between the defendants in the case. Description of the expert case. In the presented expert case, the circumstances of bodily injury described by the subject and her legal representative were not consistent with the type and nature of the fractures received during trampoline jumping, while the video recording from the surveillance camera did not provide complete information about the specific conditions of injury. A detailed analysis of the results of radiography of the shin bones, including the determination of the morphological features of fractures and their nature, as well as a frame-by-frame study of the presented video recording, made it possible for the expert to specify the mechanism of injury. Conclusion. The diaphyseal fractures of the shin bones of atypical localization for a "trampoline injury" detected in a child could serve as a source of expert errors in determining the mechanism of their occurrence, however, a thorough comprehensive assessment of all objects for examination submitted for examination: medical documents, including X-ray data, case materials, taking into account the age-specific morphology of the bone tissue of the child, it was possible to determine the exact mechanism of the occurrence of fractures.
