Open fracture of the tibia is very common among motorcyclists. The morbidity associated with this injury is well-documented as treatment of severe open fractures is very difficult. There is currently no study done in the literature to see the relationship between fracture severity and the side of the injury. ⋯ Since the right leg was more exposed to the injury, it is imperative to protect the limb. This may reduce the overall incidence and severity of tibia fractures.
