Ski fractures above or below the boot top.

P Dubravcik, D L Burke

    Canadian Journal of Surgery. Journal Canadien De Chirurgie
    |July 1, 1979

    Summary

    Ski boot fractures in skiers are classified by severity, with younger individuals experiencing less severe injuries. Closed management is effective, but severe fractures may lead to ankle osteoarthritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Tibial shaft fractures are common in skiers.
    • Ski boot fractures represent a significant subset of these injuries.
    • Understanding fracture patterns and outcomes is crucial for effective treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To classify ski boot fractures based on injury characteristics.
    • To analyze the relationship between skier age and fracture severity.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of closed management for ski boot fractures.

    Main Methods:

    • Classification of 161 ski boot fractures from a cohort of 643 skiers.
    • Assessment of instability, comminution, angulation, displacement, rotational deformity, and ankle joint involvement.
    • Follow-up examination of 72 skiers.

    Main Results:

    • Fracture severity correlated with skier age; younger skiers had less severe fractures.
    • Closed management yielded satisfactory results for most ski boot fractures.
    • Severe fractures (Type 3 and 4) were associated with a risk of developing ankle osteoarthritis.

    Conclusions:

    • Ski boot fractures exhibit a spectrum of severity influenced by age.
    • Non-operative treatment is generally effective for ski boot fractures.
    • High-grade fractures pose a risk for long-term ankle joint complications, necessitating biomechanical understanding.
