Abstract: Objectives: It is a retrospective study. This study was conducted to analyze Accidents by two-wheel vehicles reported to a single hospital in twelve months duration. In this study injuries to the limbs were observed in relation to different zones of limbs. Different pattern of injuries were studied in driver and pillion rider and results were compared. Methods: All information and data collected from documents of hospital records. Various anatomical zones were assigned to the limbs and injuries were studied according to these zones. Trauma of diver and pillion rider were analyzed and compared with each other. Results: Between 1st Jan 2017 to 31st December 2017, 240 two wheeler accidents were recorded. 110 had injuries of limbs. Results were obtained from Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur Punjab Pakistan. 85 cases were added in the study cases and of these 60 were drivers. Skid and fall injury was the most common mode of injury of the vehicle. Pillion riders had injuries mostly in accidents between motorbikes and four wheeler vehicles. In drivers mostly wrist and hand regions of upper limb were involved and in the lower limb the tibia and ankle regions. In the pillion rider, tibia and ankle were involved in lower limbs whereas shoulder and wrist were mainly injured in lower limbs. Conclusion: Accidents of motorbikes cause much trauma to the driver and person sitting behind him. Mostly trauma of wrist and tibia were observed among bike-riders. Most of the injuries in upper limb were similar in both groups.
Key words: Motorbike accidents; epidemiology; limb injuries.
