Abstract

In the 3 years up to the end of 1988, 18 of the 46 patients admitted with lower limb fractures following a motorcycle accident were despatch riders. Ten of the despatch riders were injured in the final year of the study. The nature of the injuries sustained, the reasons for their apparent frequent incidence and possible preventive measures are discussed.
