Individuals responsible for such accidents are vulnerable users of roads, pedestrians and motorcyclists. The injuries attained by the RTAs considerably contribute to the burden of mortality on a global level. Studies show this pattern is seen more significantly in developing countries. Out of all kinds of accidents that happen on the road, the most dangerous and traumatic ones are associated with motorbikes. They are a serious reason for morbidity and mortality in the productive age, especially in the male gender. Aim: To determine the frequency of various fractures commonly attained during motorcycle accidents. Methodology: The study included 140 participants presenting in the orthopedic unit with a history of motorbike accidents. A brief history of the patients was noted on an individual proforma. The examination was done for making a provisional diagnosis. All the patients were advised X-ray of the region where the fracture was expected. Results: The mean age of the patients was 32 __ampersandsignplusmn; 7.94 years. Out of 140 participants, 116 (82.86%) were male and 24 (17.15%) were females. A total of 41 (29.29%) were detected with fracture of the femur, 78 (55.71%) were detected with a fracture in the tibia, 11 (7.86%) had fractures in the humerus, and the remaining 10 (7.14%) were determined with fractures in radius and ulna. Conclusion: The highest percentage of fractures in a motorbike accident was determined in the bones of the leg. The common est fractured bone was the tibia followed by femur. Arm and forearm bones had a lesser percentage of fracture compared to leg bones. However, these fractures can be prevented by following the rules and regulations of traffic as well as through preventive campaigns.&#13;
