A 5 year retrospective notes review comparing patterns of trauma in adult cyclists and motorcyclists with facial injuries brought into a major London Trauma Centre between 2010-15

This study compared the patterns of trauma in helmeted and un helmeted cyclists and motorcyclists, particularly the location of facial fractures, head injuries, and the distribution of serious injuries across the body. Data was collected from Trauma Audit and Research Network, and 140 patients were found between 2010-15 who had been brought into King's College Hospital, London Emergency Department, of which 115 were deemed appropriate. Proportionately, cyclists without helmets suffered on average 1.48 fractures to the face, against 1.96 in cyclists with helmets.
