Abstract
A Poly-traumatized patient is someone who presents injuries in two or more organs or systems of the body. Objective: to determine the characteristics of a polytraumatized patient due to a motorcycle accident in the orthopedics area of the HTMC in the second half of the year 2022. Methods: Descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional, retrospective. Sample of 189 patients that was obtained using the Epi Info sample calculator, the data was obtained through medical records. Results: the place where the lesions mainly occur is in the pelvic extremities with 39.2%, according to Glasgow scale, the majority show a mild deterioration level of consciousness, 77.8%. On the other hand, according to the Gustillo scale, 63.5% of the wounds are type II. Conclusions: 79.9% of motorcycle accident patients are mostly male and are of productive age, which causes loss to families and the state. However, most injuries are minor and do not cause permanent injury.
