Biomechanics of neck injuries resulting from rear-end vehicle collisions.

It has been claimed that 85% of the neck injuries caused by car accidents are the result of rear-end collisions. This type of injury is called a whiplash injury, and its mechanisms are not completely understood due to the limited ability to diagnose them using X-ray or MRI. Biomechanical studies including research on injury mechanisms, injury criteria, neck kinematics and injury epidemiology we...

The prognosis of neck injuries resulting from rear-end vehicle collisions.

Injury of the neck may result when a motor vehicle is run into from behind; such injury is frequently the cause of prolonged disability and litigation. We report a series of 61 patients with these injuries. A classification, based upon the presenting symptoms and physical signs has been evolved. This classification is shown to be a reliable basis for formulating a prognosis. Factors which adver...

Bicycle-related injuries in Tehran.

Herein, we reviewed the pattern and mechanisms of injuries resulting from bicycle accidents in Tehran. During one year of trauma registry in six general hospitals, 8,000 trauma patients who had sustained injuries within a week before admission and hospitalized for more than 24 hours were studied. Bicycle injuries comprised 2.1% (n=170) of all cases admitted during the studied period. Males were...
