Abstract

Promoting and protecting an athlete’s health is an important task for any sports organization. The most common ski injuries are sprains of the medial collateral ligament of the knee, of the anterior cruciate ligament, of the cubital collateral ligament of the first finger metacarpophalangeal and injuries of the rotator cuff. Although the number of recreational snowboarders is relatively lower than that of alpine ski sports, the probability of acute injury on snowboarders is higher than that of the skier. Associated with snowboarding, injuries often involve the anatomical region of the wrist, shoulder and ankle. Alpine skiing and snowboarding put winter athletes at risk for a variety of injuries. It is important to recognize and treat them properly in order to minimize future sequelae and a return to previous physical activity.
