The present retrospective study has been conducted for the period of 3 years i.e. 2010, 2011 and 2012 based on autopsy records of the road traffic accident cases. Randomly picked 100 male cases and 100 female cases autopsied at mortuary of the District hospital, Raichur, Karnataka have been considered for the study and analyzed retrospectively. Predominant age group were found to be 21-30 years (30%) followed by age group 41-50 years (20%) and 11-20 years (15%) showing that youngsters were more involved in deaths due to road traffic accidents. Out of 200 cases studied, 168 cases were linear fractures and comminuted fractures were seen in only four cases. In 50% of the cases the road traffic accident case was unknown and two wheelers were involved in 25% of the cases and in only 5% of the cases four wheelers were involved. The cause of death in all these cases was due to head injury associated with skull fractures or Brain injury or Intracranial haemorrhages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
