Spine Trauma Associated with Off-Road Vehicles.

Reid, David C.; And Others

Physician and Sportsmedicine, v16 n6 p142-44,148-49,152 Jun 1988

A seven-year review of 1,447 cases of spine trauma showed that 53 cases were associated with the use of off-road vehicles, such as all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, and motorized dirt bikes. The development of safe riding areas, legislation governing safe operation, and public safety education are advised to curb this trend. (Author/JL)
