    Area of Science:

    • Sports Medicine
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomechanics of Skiing

    Background:

    • Skiing equipment, techniques, and slope grooming have evolved.
    • This evolution has impacted the incidence, mechanisms, and types of skiing-related ankle injuries.
    • Common skiing ankle injuries include sprains, peroneal tendon dislocations, Achilles ruptures, and fractures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the changing landscape of ankle injuries in skiing.
    • To discuss the treatment strategies for various skiing-induced ankle injuries.
    • To emphasize the importance of aggressive treatment for timely return to skiing.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature on skiing-related ankle injuries.
    • Analysis of injury trends over the past two decades.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Discussion of treatment protocols for acute ankle sprains and fractures.

    • Main Results:

    • The overall incidence of skiing-related ankle injuries has significantly decreased.
    • Early functional treatment is effective for acute ankle sprains, promoting rapid return to activity.
    • Diagnosis of lateral talar subluxation is crucial for determining operative versus nonoperative management of ankle fractures.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern skiing practices have led to a reduction in ankle injury rates.
    • Aggressive and appropriate treatment is key for skiers to return to the sport.
    • Surgical intervention (open reduction with fibula plating) and early weight-bearing in a brace facilitate early functional recovery for specific ankle fractures.
