Abstract

The frequency and severity of leg injuries to motorcycle riders is illustrated. The generally severe nature of motorcyclists' leg injuries is emphasized in terms of the frequent need for skin and bone grafting, and the heel flap injury almost unique to motorcycling is discussed. Crush and impact injury mechanisms are reviewed, and then some possibilities for the introduction of leg protection and crashworthiness of motorcycles as a concept is mentioned.
