Samenvatting
A retrospective study was conducted of the records of adult trauma patients hospitalized between January 1982 and February 1990. Seventy- eight cases (3%) resulting from snowmobile, all- terrain vehicles and dirtbike collisions were examined. Detailed injury data which indicate a predominance of head, chest, and long bone injuries are presented. Although the number of admissions are small, recreational vehicle injuries pose a significant health hazard.
