“…However, this study provides a precise diagnosis of each patient analysed in this study instead of injury registration through retrospective interviews with skiers or medical staff. Particularized injuries cannot be differentiated because of coding limitations in the registration system [38]. Also, the results of the present study only showed that injury patterns differ between sexes.…”

Background Although studies have reported the sex differences in injury patterns among recreational skiers, the findings are still conflicting. This study aims to analyse the sex differences of orthopaedic knee injuries that occurred during alpine skiing. Methods A total of 306 recreational alpine skiers (125 females and 181 males) who sustained knee surgeries between June 2016 and December 2018 participated in this study. Age, height, weight, and physical activity level of the patients were recorded. The orthopaedic knee injury patterns were analysed based on the diagnosis given by the physicians. Results Male skiers (17.13%) had a higher proportion of multiple knee ligament injuries than females (6.40%). The combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament injury were the most common injury types in both females and males, with ACL injury being more prevalent for females (79.20%) than that in males (56.35%). The proportion of female skiers (17.6%) with vigorous-intensity activity level was significantly lower than that of males (30.9%). Female skiers had lower body height, body weight, and body mass index than male skiers (P < 0.001). Conclusions ACL injury is the most common orthopaedic injury among both female and male knee-injured recreational skiers. The proportion of females with an ACL injury is higher than that of males, but the proportion of multiple knee ligament injuries is lower than that of males. More male recreational skiers have vigorous-intensity activity level habits in daily life than females.

“…Idzikowski et al (13) surveyed injuries from 47 medical facilities near Colorado ski resorts and showed that of 7,430 snowboarding-related injuries, 3,645 (49.06%) were upper extremity injuries and 56.43% of these were fractures. Moreover, several studies have reported that wrist injuries were the most common type of injury associated with snowboarding (5,15). Kim et al (5) collected injury data from 1988 to 2006 from a base-lodge clinic in Vermont and found that wrist injuries accounted for 27.6% of all snowboarding injuries.…”

“…Kim et al (5) collected injury data from 1988 to 2006 from a base-lodge clinic in Vermont and found that wrist injuries accounted for 27.6% of all snowboarding injuries. In another study, Basques et al (15) used the National Trauma Data Bank and identified 2,704 snowboarders who presented to EDs between 2011 and 2012, and found that most common injuries were upper extremity fractures, which accounted for 26% of injuries, particularly of the distal radius, which accounted for 10.5% of injuries. Machold et al (16) surveyed a group of snowboarders who had a mean age of 15 years, and found that 6% of snowboarders had a mean of 10.6 injuries per 1,000 snowboard days, where 61% of the injuries affected the upper extremity, particularly the wrist, which accounted for 32% of the injuries.…”

“…The most common fracture types were simple extra-articular (A2) and simple intra-articular (C1), representing 36.8 and 27.0% of radius fractures in this population. Using the National Trauma Data Bank, Basgues et al determined that distal radius fractures are more prevalent in snowboarders relative to skiers (10.5% of all presenting injuries vs 2.7%) [23]. Others have found a similar pattern, with distal radius fractures representing 2.2% of injuries in skiers and 14.5-17.4% in snowboarders [16,24].…”

Purpose of Review Distal radius fractures are one of the most common upper extremity fractures. Athletes with distal radius fractures are treated according to the same principles as nonathletes but present several unique considerations. At all levels of sport, injured athletes desire to return to play as rapidly as possible. Recent Findings Earlier operative fixation may allow an athlete to return to play more quickly. Volar locking plates are most commonly used for operative treatment of distal radius fractures due to their stability and low incidence of complications. Summary Although the majority of distal radius fractures in athletes are treated non-operatively, operative intervention is offered when required to restore and maintain acceptable skeletal alignment. Return to sport is individualized guided by fracture stability, athlete age, and wrist-specific demands for competition.
