The report is intended to illustrate the type of detailed investigation into specific injuries at present being undertaken by the Laboratory's Road Accident Injury Group. A brief description of the probable mechanism of injury of a case of fractured femur (thigh bone) and of a case of dislocation of the hip, resulting from car accidents, is given. For the convenience on non-medical readers normal X-rays are included to permit comparison between undamaged and damaged bony structures and everday language is used to supplement medical terminology.
