Abstract

In a one year prospective investigation, the circumstances and sequelae of 75 moped accidents were registered. The patients were aged mainly between 14 and 18 years and the accidents happened mainly in the afternoon hours. The majority of the injuries were on the head and the extremities. Twenty-one of the patients were admitted to hospital for median 4.8 days, 50 were treated as outpatients and four were dead on admission. The patients were contacted one year after the accident and one had severe sequelae and five had minor sequelae.
