Common Lower Limb Injuries from Road Traffic Accidents
No matter how careful you are, or how good a driver, a road traffic accident can happen any time and the average RTA often results in injury to the lower limbs; the pelvis, legs and feet. These injuries are sustained through the collision of a person with the internal parts of the vehicle as a result of the sudden deceleration of speed when the vehicle hits another vehicle or external object. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to lower limb fractures especially when the motorcycle is hit side-on by another vehicle.
