Resumen

Las caídas son la segunda causa más común de mortalidad después de accidentes vehiculares. Trauma por precipitación es definido como una lesión a una persona que ocurre después de aterrizar sobre el suelo después de caer sobre un lugar más alto como una escalera, andamio, edificio, techo u cualquierotra área elevada. La mayoría de los pacientes que sufren lesiones secundarias a caídas libres no intencionales son hombres. La mayoría de los casos reportados de caídas libre no intencionales corresponden al grupo de edad productiva (rango de edad: 15 años -44 años) y trabajan en construcción. A continuación, presentamos un caso de un hombre de 16 años que cayó accidentalmente de un andamio de 3 pisos (14 metros).
