Wrists and ankles slipped due to skiing: Causes and ways to avoid them

Winter skiing season is just around the corner and injuries on the mountainside are quite common, especially fractures from winter sports. Skiing and snowboarding are a great way to go through winter, however, it is important to know the causes and precautions to minimize the risk of fractures so you can enjoy the slopes throughout winter.

Every year, children, adults and families get in the car and go to the nearest mountains. Broken wrists or ankles are common winter injuries that can quickly spoil a happy day (and the rest of the season) in the mountains. Knowing what to note and how to prevent injuries is the key to enjoying this winter sports season.

Wrists and ankles: Broken bones from winter sports

A broken wrist is a common winter sports injury. Both skiing and snowboarding need your arms to balance and fall. Beginners are more likely to maintain injuries and skiers are also more likely to maintain wrist injuries.

A major cause of broken wrists, broken bones, is slipping and falling. There are three main types of wrist fracture injuries, such as:

– Intra-articular fracture: In case of broken radius, it makes the joint last longer.

– Extra-articular fracture: A fracture that the wrist joint does not expand.

– Open fracture: The opening is when the bone breaks through the skin.

– Comminuted fracture: This type of fracture occurs when bones break in two or more places.

All types of fractures can occur during skiing and snowboarding. It is important to have all the information about these injuries so you can be wary of you and your loved ones.

However, a fracture is the only type of orthopedic injury that winter sports athletes need to be cautious to prevent. In addition to fractures and fractures, ligament tears are a persistent threat in winter sports.

Skiers and snowboarders are at high risk of previous collateral ligament injury, or ACL. This is due to rigid restrictions of ski shoes. Similar structure and design protects skiers Ankle from injury and fractures cause force to flow onto the kinetic chain and can lead to ACL injury or tears. Although ACL injuries are most common, knee injuries are generally a common risk for winter athletes, as rigid, inflexible shoes and postures often cause athletes to touch The soil is strong on the knees or it can twist the legs and knees in unnatural behavior.

Like broken bones, there are different severity of ligament injuries.

– Grade 1 ligament spine is related to related ligament stretching

– Grade 2 ligament spine (also called partial tearing) stretches and loosens the ligament involved, affecting the function and structural stability

– Grade 3 ligament sprain of degree 3 is complete tear; they make the stability and function of related joints compromised. In case of ACL tears, the knee joint will become unstable.
