Introduction: Patellofemoral disorders are multifactorial in nature and encompass a wide variety of problems ranging from pain to instability that can affect snow sport athletes. Objectives: We aim to describe the injuries and treatments of the patellofemoral joint in winter sport athletes. Methods: We reviewed and analyzed the current literature on patellofemoral disorders and treatments in winter sport athletes, and additionally report on our own experience in treating these athletes. Results: In addition to the morphologic risk factors that can predispose patients to patellofemoral disorders, multiple extrensic factors related to snow sports should be taken into account when treating skiers and snowboarders with patellofemoral disorders. The unique interactions with equipment and environment can play important roles in either preventing or predisposing toward injury. Conclusions: Knowledge and understanding of injury biomechanics in winter sports and their predisposing factors can allow for the optimal management of patellofemoral disorders in athletes who participate in these sports. |
