Abstract

A pedestrian received extremely serious injuries when impacted by an automobile traveling in excess of 40 miles per hour. Her survival is due to prompt emergency treatment initiated at Stanford University Hospital within 10 minutes of her injury. Her dynamics were modeled in an analysis concerned with her vault through the air and slide to rest on road surface. Long and short term efforts to implement her recovery and identify her specific injuries are thoroughly documented from both medical and orthopedic studies.
