Abstract

This paper addresses the nature and cause of lower limb injuries received by car occupants in road traffic accidents. Although such injuries in themselves are rarely life threatening they can lead to long term disability and impairment. The UK Cooperative Crash Injury Study (CCIS) database which describes both the injuries to car occupants and the damage to the vehicle was used to determine the relative importance and frequency of these injuries.
