I have perused the files attached in this case and have found it interesting.
What is interesting is the type of fracture seen. A shattered head of radius bone and fractured neck. A closed fracture. I am not a Forensic expert so am unaware of the physical-dynamics that lead to such a fracture. I feel such a fracture can occur when a sudden force is applied at the elbow, in line with the forearm, when the forearm is fixed. Or was it a Essex-Lopresti fracture ??? LOOKS MORE LIKE IT !! I have heard the history of him being thrown down from a height. I would recommend him and others read this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2686054/ [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/corehtml/pmc/pmcgifs/pmc-logo-share.png]<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2686054/> The Essex-Lopresti injury: More than just a pain in the wrist<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2686054/> www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov CASE PRESENTATION. A 55-year-old, right hand-dominant man requested a second opinion consult for complaints of pain and disability in the right elbow and wrist. Because there could be further neurological complications. The relevant scans of the fractures are here: IMG-20160406-WA0009.jpg <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5dEzUkOBvg2R2NydHNjM28zVy1hTm93ajhzVGR6N3ZIbFRF/view?usp=drive_web> ??

Could some colleague throw some light on this issue? thanks Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.
