Motorcyclists and pillion passengers with open lower-limb fractures: a study using TARN data 2007-2014.

Conclusions Since the 2009 BOAST 4 revision, there has been no difference in the time taken from injury to soft-tissue coverage but the time from injury to skeletal stabilisation is longer. There has also been an increase in patient movement to centres offering joint orthopaedic and plastic care. PMID: 29364004 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
