ABSTRACT
This article reviews basic characteristics of road traffic crashes of heavy vehicles and the current health status of truck drivers. It summarises previous findings from research with a focus on orthopaedic diseases and injuries. These findings comprise a risky health behaviour and high prevalence of associated diseases which can be attributed to both the occupational framework and personal risk-taking behavioural patterns. These are of major importance given the increasing number of drivers and the consequences for acute care and prevention. On the other hand there is a substantial lack of medical care for the drivers on the road. Therefore this article presents the"DocStop Initiative" for medical care on the road, an initiative that runs an international network of care providers (http//www.docstop-online.eu).
