Abstract

The anatomical sites and severities of the injuries received by 932 cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists are described, using a sample consisting of all road accident casualties brought to one hospital in 1974. The study shows that although there were differences in the distribution of injury for the three different road user groups, in all three the lower leg was the part of the body most commonly receiving severe injury.
