Abstract
The orthopaedic and neurological lesions of 21 cases of spinal cord injuries as a result of motorcycle accidents are reviewed. The thoracic spine and spinal cord were the site of injury in 76% of cases. Eight-one per cent of the thoracic injuries showed complete neurological lesions. A mechanism of injury is postulated.Entities:
