The only history I received was "fall" in general, but you're probably right... it doesn't look like trip, then fall injury. It looks more like there was vertical compression. I'll see if I can't find a little more information out.
... follow up - the person who gave me these images stated the only history he received was "patient fall". I think you're right about possibly falling from up high. I have seen similar fractures involved in car accidents where someone stands on the breaks before a collision, but it also usually involves (first) the distal tib-fib as well. I'll continue to try to get additional history on anything I post when possible.
Ouch, indeed~
ReplyDeleteHave a history on that? Curious as to the cause of injury... impact from fall (from great height?)would be my guess.
