This paper evaluates 420 ski injuries occurring in Northern Sweden in 1977. Our main aim was to correlate knee injuries with types of skiing and to note a change in incidence with evolution of equipment. Fifty-eight lesions (13.8%) affected the knee joint which is about the same frequency as 10 years earlier nor has introduction of high stiff boots in downhill skiing increased incidence of knee injuries. Cross-country and long- distance skiing produced more knee injuries (24.7%) than down hill skiing (11.4%). Cross-country skiers were older and more women in this group sustained knee injuries. The use of non- release type bindings is probably the main reason for this higher incidence but age and different skiing techniques seem to contribute. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
