Skiing injuries commonly affect the upper and lower limbs, with most cases managed outpatient. Increased skiing popularity may lead to more injuries and healthcare costs.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Skiing is a popular winter sport with inherent risks of injury.
  • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for prevention and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the types and patterns of skiing injuries presenting to a fracture clinic.
  • To assess the management and resource utilization for skiing injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of skiing injuries over one season (December 1992 - April 1993).
  • Data collection included patient demographics, injury location, and treatment required.

Main Results:

  • 59 injuries in 55 patients (30 male, 25 female; mean age 34).

  • Upper limb injuries (59.3%) and lower limb injuries (37.3%) were most common.
  • Most injuries were treated on an outpatient basis, with 12 requiring surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Skiing injuries predominantly affect the limbs and are largely managed non-surgically.
    • The increasing popularity of skiing suggests a rising incidence of injuries and associated healthcare demands.
