ABSTRACT
The study analysed the results of an examination of 3557 skiing, snowboarding and snowblading injuries treated at the Department of Trauma Surgery at the Klinikum Garmisch-Partenkirchen in winter seasons 99/00 through 02/03. In this study group, a total of 70 injuries occurred while snowblading. These injuries are compared to the remaining injuries resulting from skiing, carving or snowboarding accidents. This study intends to contribute to the tracking and recording of injuries occurring during snowblading, a sport that is popular but not yet well-addressed in medical literature. The results show that snowblading injuries are similar to those of skiing, but different from those attributable to snowboarding, particularly with regard to the affected parts of the body and injury patterns. Acrobatic jumps increase significantly the risk of fractures of the lower extremities. However, ruptures of ligaments, especially of the ACL, are seen more rarely in snowblading than in carving or conventional skiing. Distorsions, on the other hand, are observed significantly more often among snowbladers when compared with carvers and snowboarders. Release bindings for snowblades could reduce the risk of injuries.
