A 52-year-old male patient suffered a motorcycle accident and was examined using WBCT according to the S3 guideline for the treatment of polytrauma and the severely injured [17]. Multiplanar reformations in sagittal planes show distal intraarticular fractures of the radius of both wrists (A right side, B left side). Imaging showed additional injuries of the left lower extremity with proximal fracture of the fibula on a coronal reformation (C), and fracture of the medial malleolus on coronal (D) and sagittal (E) reformations. Motorcycle accidents might predispose for injuries of wrist and hand, and they often cause additional fractures of the extremities
