Objective: Motorcycle injuries have shown a progression in last years in trauma patients admitted to our clinic. The aim of this study is to evaluate statistically whether the motorcycle accidents’ incidence is really has a progression or not.

Method:The study involved 180 patients (87 women, 93 men) operated for the fractures after a motorcycle crash between the first six months of 2002 and 2007. The injury patterns are investigated if there is a significant increase or not. The mean age was 45.2 years. In Group I; 50 patients (22 women, 28 men ) were included which operated in the first 6 months of 2002. The mean age was 44.8 years. In Group II; 130 patients (65 women, 65 men ) were included which operated in the first 6 months of 2007. The mean age was 45.7.

Results: We compared two groups and found a significant 3.425 increase in motorcycle injuries contrary to 0.075 decrease in falls, 0.023 decrease in traffic accidents within the vehicle, 0.013 decrease in traffic accidents out of the vehicle, 0.616 decrease in sports injuries, 0.25 decrease in gunshot injuries. This increase in motorcycle injuries is statistically significant.

Conclusion: We have found significant increase in motorcycle injuries statistically. The importance of this, it affects younger population, and they bring out high morbidity. Since; we think that motorcycle injuries must be stated especially in literatures. We must warn our colleagues to state this injuries, and must take precautions against this problem.
