TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Fall from a height of 13.5 meters of a child without major injuries JO - Schweizerische Rundschau fur Medizin Praxis A1 - Neuhaus, V. A1 - Simmen, Hans-Peter SP - 391 EP - 392 VL - 94 IS - 10 N2 - High-velocity traumas, especially falls from a height, are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Despite the height of fall is a poor predictor of major injury, we must be aware of relevant injuries especially of the head and the musculoskeletal system. The aim is to recognize all relevant problems, or better to avoid the fall. We report a case from a fall of 13.5 meters with an ellbow-fracture and contusions of the head.
