Abstract

Two- wheeler trauma in developing countries differs in some respect when compared to that in developed countries. A total of 302 cases involved in motorcycle, scooter, and moped accidents were analyzed. There were 201 drivers and 101 passengers. Injury severity scores (ISS), overall number of wounds, and number of fractures were studied. Motorcycle riders had a significantly higher ISS than did scooter riders.
