Methods： All the high fall cases were statistically analysed according to their gender, age, ground-touching posture, fall height, site and type of the injury. Results： Among 134 high fall cases, 98 were male and 36 were female with the age ranging from 2-71 years （37.6 ＋16.9 on average）, in which, 10-60 years old group con- sisted of 110 cases （82%）. Most cases fell from windows orroofs （73%） and the touching objects were cement ground or shaft bottom of elevators. Among these cases, head injury was generally serious, followed by chest and abdominal injuries. The morphologic changes depend upon the height, nature, as well as the posture at the point while the body touches the ground. Conclusion： Morphologic study of high fall injury assists medicolegal physicians to make correct identifica- tions of the cause and nature of high fall injuries.展开更多
