[Forensic medical assessment of fractures' morphological criteria for determination of the mechanisms of tibial shaft destruction in case of fall from height].

Abstract

The study objective was to investigate the tibia fractures morphology depending on the position of victim at the time of injury when falling from height. The article presents the results of mathematical statistics which was carried out to justify scientifically the expert approach to reconstruction of accident circumstances in a fall from height with various landing options. The study results can be used to determine the position of the victim's body at the moment of landing, as well as to specify the height of fall.
