ABSTRACT:

Traveling on a motorcycle carries a much higher risk of death or injury than driving the same distance in a car. This cross-sectional study was conducted in different tertiary care hospitals. The data was collected from the emergency department of these hospitals. The data of two months was collected. The data of three hundred and sixty patients was collected. In ninety percent of the patients the driver of the vehicle was injured and in sixty six percent of the case, the person sitting with the driver was injured. Among 360 patients presented with this history, 86% were male and 14% were females. Motorbike accidents can give rise to bone injuries of any body part, however, it has been determined in the study that lower limbs’ bones are particularly more prone to injury in motorbike accidents.
