Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Cross-country skiing is a popular winter sport with a significant injury rate.
  • Over the past 20 years, 1,335 cross-country skiing injuries have been treated.
  • These injuries constituted 5% of all winter sport-related injuries, peaking at 7.4% in 1989/90.

Purpose:

  • To analyze statistical data on cross-country skiing injuries over a 20-year period.
  • To identify the most common injury types and body regions affected.
  • To understand the epidemiological trends of skiing-related trauma.

Summary:

  • Upper extremity injuries accounted for 50.4% of all injuries.
  • Lower extremity injuries represented 25.8%, and trunk injuries 19%.
  • Head trauma (1.1%) and skin lacerations (3.7%) were less frequent.

Impact:

  • Provides valuable data for injury prevention strategies in cross-country skiing.
  • Informs healthcare providers about common injury patterns for better diagnosis and treatment.
  • Contributes to the understanding of winter sport injury epidemiology.
