Fractures of the legs are characteristic injuries in automobile-pedestrian collisions. Typically these occur at the level of the bumper; measurement of the height of these fractures may be used to reconstruct the events surrounding the collision. We report two cases in which the lower leg fractures did not correspond to the bumper, but rather to the top of the boots worn by the pedestrians. In both cases the decedents were wearing boots with lugged soles which provided fixation of the foot and support for the foot and ankle. The mechanism of these injuries is analogous to boot top fractures which occur in skiing accidents.
腿部骨折是汽车与行人碰撞事故中的典型损伤。通常这些骨折发生在保险杠高度处；测量这些骨折的高度可用于重建碰撞周围的事件。我们报告两例小腿骨折并非与保险杠对应，而是与行人所穿靴子顶部对应的病例。在这两例中，死者都穿着带防滑鞋底的靴子，这种鞋底能固定足部并支撑足和踝关节。这些损伤的机制类似于滑雪事故中发生的靴顶骨折。
