    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic biomechanics
    • Sports injury prevention

    Context:

    • Current ski-boot designs inadequately address tibial anatomy.
    • Maximal bending stress occurs at the tibia's minimal diameter, a common boot endpoint.

    Purpose:

    • To propose an improved ski-boot design for enhanced skier safety.
    • To reduce the incidence of ski-boot related tibial fractures.

    Summary:

    • A novel ski-boot design featuring a joint, splinting the distal third of the calf to the tibial mid-point, is presented.
    • This design aligns with the tibia's maximal bending point, mitigating stress concentration.
    • Combined with safety bindings, this reduces the risk of
    • Impact
    • Enhanced skier safety through biomechanically sound ski-boot design.
    • Potential reduction in ski-related lower leg injuries, specifically tibial fractures.

    Impact:

    • Enhanced skier safety through biomechanically sound ski-boot design.
    • Potential reduction in ski-related lower leg injuries, specifically tibial fractures.
