The Erzberg Rodeo Motor Enduro race, was analyzed over three consecutive years to analyze the risk of sustaining an accident, to determine the kind and site of injured body regions and to correlate the incidence of accidents with the site on the race track suspiring that most accidents happen at the first- and the last-third. In this prospective, field study questionnaires were used recoding fallen riders. Demographic data, the third of the race track on which the accident happened and details of the accident itself like its mechanism were noted. Each injured body region was recorded separately and rated according to the abbreviated injury scale. Two thousand nine hundred and twenty-three athletes started in 3 years in the Erzberg Rodeo; 6% of them had an accident and 94% were non-professionals. Overall, the average abbreviated injury scale was 2.8. More than 80% of all counted injuries were superficial. Most accidents happened in a curve due to the front tire sliding, affecting mostly arm and leg. Overall 67% of all accidents happened at day 1 of the race and 41% of all accidents happened in the first-third of the race track. Competitive Enduro motorcyclists have a high risk of sustaining an accident, but in comparison a low risk of sustaining a severe injury. Curves are the predominant site of accidents.

“…It is important to identify specific populations that are at risk of metatarsal fractures. These fractures are the most common forefoot fractures in motorcycle accidents (6) , but occur most commonly through low-energy trauma, resulting from direct trauma or simple twists (10) . In our study, 69% of patients were low-energy trauma victims and 31% experienced high-energy trauma, conforming to the data found in the literature (3,7,10) .…”

“…Traffic accident (motorcycle) 3 21% Total 14 100% in this type of treatment are painful plantar callus and metatarsophalangeal plantar plate injury (6,9,12,20) . The patients in this study, treated by a percutaneous antegrade surgical approach, had higher AOFAS functional scores for the postoperative period, averaging more than 95 points, and no complications were identified related to the type of treatment used.…”

“…They can be isolated, multiple or occur in combination with fracture-dislocations of the Lisfranc joint. Most MB fractures result from low-energy trauma, but the high-energy injuries or crushings have increased their incidence due to motorcycle accidents (6,7) . MB fractures are divided according to their anatomical location into proximal metaphyseal, diaphyseal, cervical (neck), and cephalic (head).…”

The authors declare that there was no conflict of interest in conducting this work ABSTRACTObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results obtained using the anterograde percutaneous fixation technique for treating shaft and neck fractures of the lesser metatarsals. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 14 patients between 2003 and 2008, taking into consideration the topography of the fracture, trauma mechanism, associated comorbidities and AOFAS score for the forefoot. Results: The anatomical region most affected was the metatarsal neck (79%). Involvement of multiple metatarsals (53%) was more common than isolated fractures (47%). Low-energy trauma (79%) was more frequent than high-energy trauma (21%). Female patients with diabetes had the worst postoperative functional results. There were no postoperative complications relating to the type of treatment instituted. Conclusion: The surgical technique presented was efficient for treating fractures of the lesser metatarsals, with a lower complication rate than shown by other established techniques in the literature.

Clinical profile of patients with below knee soft tissue injuries

et al. 2018

Background: In the recent era of trauma majority of people suffer from lower limb injuries, which cause functional disabilities and psychosocial consequences. Lower limb injury specially below knee generally involves young and productive people so it is the prime responsibility of the society to prevent such incidents. Our aim is to study clinical profile of various below knee soft tissue injuries to develop better prediction models for defining the most important target for prevention and to reduce morbidities and disabilities.Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), Swami Ram Nagar, Dehradun, over a period of 12 months. Subjects were recruited from patients presenting in Emergency/Surgery OPD, HIMS, Dehradun with a primary diagnosis of below knee soft tissue injuries. A total of 64 patients were included in the study.Results: Maximum number of patients were in the age group of 20-40 years (46.88%), and were predominantly males (84.38%). The commonest mode of injury was RTA (75%) primarily involving 2 wheelers (72.91%). Most patients (42.18%) had late presentation to the hospital i.e. after 72 hours of injury which was found to be associated with contamination of wound in 66.6% of patients.Conclusions: The study emphasizes the need for preventive strategies and protection mechanisms for lower limb injuries. Late presenting contaminated wounds leads to higher complication rates hence there is need for efficient ambulance services for ensuring timely intervention.
