Abstract
The 79 survivors of the M1 aircrash have been assessed at an average of 1 year after
the accident. Return to work, continued hospital care and recovery from injuries has
been found to be related to the severity of injury. The 188 pelvic and limb fractures
have been reviewed and the incidence of complications from these injuries has been
low. Spinal and lower limb injuries account for the majority of the residual disability.
