“…De acuerdo con un estudio que compara las lesiones entre los motociclistas todoterreno y en pista (o ciclistas callejeros) (Grange, Corbett & Cotton, 2004) aunque ambos estilos presentaron lesiones más similares en el análisis de los registros de un hospital regional en California, las posibilidades de un traumatismo abdominal, un traumatismo de tórax y un traumatismo cutáneo o riesgo de muerte fueron mucho más altos para los motociclistas callejeros que para los corredores todoterreno. Esto se observó en nuestro estudio en el que diagnosticamos un porcentaje bajo de lesiones en la cabeza y traumatismo torácico y abdominal entre los corredores de motocross.…”

R. (2017). Incidencia de lesiones en la práctica deportiva del motocross. Revista Ciencias de la Actividad Física UCM, N° 18(2) julio-diciembre, 1-9. RESUMENAntecedentes: Estudiar la incidencia de lesiones que involucran a atletas profesionales de Motocross de diferentes categorías en niveles de carreras estatales, nacionales e internacionales y evaluar las lesiones más comunes dentro de los atletas de Motocross y las áreas más frecuentemente afectadas por la práctica del deporte. Métodos: El estudio incluyó un cuestionario respondido por 45 atletas entre 16 y 46 años de edad, hombres y mujeres, de diferentes nacionalidades y lugares de nacimiento, en carreras para el Campeonato de Motocross de Brasil. Resultados: Las fracturas son las lesiones más comunes entre los corredores de Motocross (17.55 %), seguido de dislocaciones (13.05%). Los hombros y las rodillas son los sitios anatómicos más afectados. Las pruebas de chi-cuadrado mostraron que el diagnóstico tiene una relevancia significativa sobre la influencia y la definición del tratamiento de las lesiones (p = 0.001). El diagnóstico tuvo significación estadística en relación con el regreso de los corredores a los deportes con el mismo nivel físico anterior a la lesión (p = 0.001). Conclusión: Los hombros fueron los más afectados por las lesiones y las fracturas la lesión más común en la práctica de Motocross y debido a su naturaleza de alto impacto, el Motocross tiene una alta tasa de lesiones. PALABRAS CLAVELesiones, lesiones deportivas, medicina deportiva, actividad física. ABSTRACT Background:To study the incidence of injuries involving professional Motocross athletes from different categories in state, national and international racing levels and to evaluate the most common injuries within Motocross athletes and the most frequently affected areas by the sport's practice. Methods: The study included a questionnaire answered by 45 athletes aged between 16 and 46 years old, male and female, of different nationalities and places of birth, racing for the Brazilian Motocross Championship. Results: Fractures are the most common injuries among Motocross racers (17.55%), followed by dislocations (13.05%). The shoulders and knees are the most affected anatomical sites. The chi-square tests showed that the diagnosis has significant relevance over the influence and definition of the injuries' treatment (p=0.001).The diagnosis had statistical significance in relation to the racers' return to sports with the same physical level prior to the injury (p=0.001). Conclusion: The shoulders were the most affected by injuries and the fractures the most common lesion in Motocross practice and because of its high impact nature, Motocross has a high rate of injuries.

The intricate interplay of exposure and speed leave motorcyclists vulnerable, leading to high mortality rates. During the collision, the driver and the passenger are usually projected away from the motorcycle, with variable trajectories or final positions. Injuries resulting from the crash can exhibit distinct and specific characteristics depending on the circumstances of the occurrence.The aim of this study is to provide a systematic review of the literature on injuries sustained by motorcyclists involved in road accidents describing and analyzing elements that are useful for forensic assessment.The literature search was performed using PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science from January 1970 to June 2023. Eligible studies have investigated issues of interest to forensic medicine about during traffic accidents involving motorcycle. A total of 142 studies met the inclusion criteria and were classified and analyzed based on the anatomical regions of the body affected (head, neck, thoraco-abdominal, pelvis, and limb injuries). Moreover, also the strategies for preventing lesions and assessing injuries in the reconstruction of motorcycle accidents were examined and discussed.This review highlights that, beyond injuries commonly associated with motorcycle accidents, such as head injuries, there are also unique lesions linked to the specific dynamics of accidents. These include factors like the seating position of the passenger or impact with the helmet or motorbike components. The forensic assessment of injury distribution could serve as support in reconstructing the sequence of events leading to the crash and defining the cause of death in trauma fatalities.
