Free fall trauma Trauma 2006; 8: 157–167
Epidemiology • Falls rank only 2nd to motor vehicle accidents among the causes of trauma deaths in the U.K. and U.S. • U.S. • Approximately 50% of free falls are accidental • 20% are suicide attempts • Another 20% are crime related • The remainder are from undetermined causes • Men predominate over women
Risk of dying • The distance of a fall • Perhaps the strongest single predictor of mortality • Falls from 3 storeys(45 feet; 13~14m)carrying a 50% risk of death • Falls from 5 storeys(75 feet; 22~23m) or more rarely being compatible with survival • The impact surface, attitude of the body at impact, victim’s age and location of fall modify chances of survival • Immediate death from free fall is usually a result of massive brain damage, thoracic trauma or intraabdominal bleeding alone or in combination.
Regional injury • Musculoskeletal injuries • The lower limbs are the most frequently encountered injuries in feet first landings. • The calcaneusis the most frequently fractured bone but complex metaphyseal and epiphyseal fracture patterns of distal joints are often seen. • Spinal injury especially to the thoraco-lumbar junction must always be suspected.
The association of calcaneus fracture and spinal injury following a fall from height may be as high as 75%. • In addition, spinal injuries are commonly unstable, burst or compression type configurations and carry a high incidence of neurological injury. • Whole spine imaging is therefore warranted in any patient with calcaneus fracture following free fall.
Common sequelae following falls (massive decelerations) • Ruptures of the aorta, pericardium and heart • Major hepatic and splenic injuries • However, such injuries are usually not survivable. • Always being borne in mind • In the instance of haemodynamic instability in a free fall survivor →The possibility of retroperitoneal haemorrhage especially from vertebral or pelvic fracture.
Left radial fracture; Right radial and ulnar fracture • Left 3rd toe fracture • Left femoral neck fracture; Left femoral shaft open fracture Back
