Hello all,

Painful left foot(3rd/4th met area) when in snowboarding boot only.

No symptoms or pain until what patient describes as a "painful clicking/dislocation feeling" this appears to be caused by a sudden twist or dorsiflexion movement.

Symptoms reduced striaght away after removal of boot, although for the next few days, patient able to reproduce "click" by dorsiflexing/plantarflexing 3rd/4th mets, but this calms down.

I have been able to reproduce this, is sounds like either the nerve is clicking or is it maybe the two met heads?????

Patient has got a large and extra wide fitting boot!!!!

I am thinking compression is the cause, but how do i deal with the control of the dorsiflexion movement????

any ideas

cheers scott

forgot to say-

can't reproduce click with medial/lateral compression, only with plantar/dorsiflexion?????

D H Major, S E Steenstrup, T Bere, R Bahr, L Nordsletten
Br J Sports Med doi:10.1136/bjsports-2013-092573

Background There is limited knowledge on the injury rate and injury pattern in the different disciplines among elite snowboarders.

Objective The aim of this study was to describe and compare the injury rate and injury pattern among the different International Ski Federation (Fédération Internationale de Ski, FIS) World Cup (WC) snowboard disciplines.

Methods We conducted retrospective interviews with FIS WC snowboard athletes at the end of each season in the period 2007–2012, to register all acute injuries sustained during training or competition during the competitive season requiring attention by medical personnel. To calculate the exposure, we obtained information from result lists from the FIS competition database for all WC competitions for each of the interviewed athletes.

Results We registered a total of 574 injuries among 1432 athletes, accounting for an overall injury rate of 40.1 injuries/100 athlete/season. A total of 171 injuries occurred during the FIS WC competitions, corresponding to 6.4 injuries/1000 runs. During competition, injury risk was highest in snowboard cross with 11.9/1000 runs, followed by 6.3 in halfpipe, 3.6 in big air and 2.8 in parallel giant slalom/parallel slalom (PGS/PSL). Snowboard cross also had the highest risk of severe injuries (>28 days absence). No differences in injury risk were detected between male and female snowboarders. The most commonly injured body part was the knee (17.8%), followed by the shoulder/clavicle (13.4%) and head/face (13.2%). The risk of knee injury (the most common injury type) and head injury was significantly higher in snowboard cross and halfpipe compared to PGS/PSL.

Conclusions The risk of injuries was higher in snowboard cross than in halfpipe, big air and PGS/PSL. The most commonly injured body part was the knee. Prevention of snowboard injuries among elite snowboarders should focus on knee injuries, severe injuries and snowboard cross athletes.

Review of snowboarding injuries
Sara Mirhadi, Neil Ashwood, Babis Karagkevrekis
Trauma September 3, 2014

Snowboarding is a popular sport and can lead not only to various injuries including wrist fracture, closed head injury and acromioclavicular injuries but also to others such as scaphoid fracture or ulna collateral ligament injury which is often difficult to diagnose. Having a high suspicion for specific injuries from known injury patterns associated with snowboarding may help earlier diagnosis which can result in better outcomes for the patient. The severity of injuries will vary depending on the individual’s skill level and their use of protective equipment. Preventive methods for injuries among snowboarders may need to be devised based on differences in skill levels. This review focuses on injuries associated with the use of snowboards, draws comparisons with skiing injuries and suggests strategies for injury prevention.

Lower Extremity Injuries in Snowboarders.
Mahmood B, Duggal N.
Am J Orthop (Belle Mead NJ). 2014 Nov;43(11):502-505.

The popularity of skiing and snowboarding has increased tremendously over the past few decades. Whereas skiing has been an established winter sport for some time, snowboarding was created only in the 1960s. The great surge in popularity of snowboarding was sparked by its inclusion in the 1998 Winter Olympics. With increased participation in these winter activities has come a tremendous rise in injuries, despite equipment changes and promotion of safety behavior. Although participants in these sports share many common lower extremity injuries, the unique characteristics of skiing and snowboarding lead to marked differences in injury rates and mechanisms of many specific injuries of knee, foot, and ankle. In this article, we review the literature on the epidemiology of lower extremity injuries associated with snowboarding and the associated mechanisms of injury.

Sports injuries and illnesses during the 2015 Winter European Youth Olympic Festival
G Ruedl et al
Br J Sports Med doi:10.1136/bjsports-2015-095665

Background The prevention of injury and illness remains an important issue among young elite athletes. Systematic surveillance of injuries and illnesses during multi-sport events might provide a valuable basis to develop preventive measures, focusing especially on adequate information for youth athletes.

Aim To analyse the frequencies and characteristics of injuries and illnesses during the 2015 Winter European Youth Olympic Festival (W-EYOF).

Methods All National Olympic Committees were asked to report daily the occurrence or non-occurrence of newly sustained injuries and illnesses on a standardised reporting form.

Results Among the 899 registered athletes (37% female) with a mean age of 17.1?0.8 years, a total of 38 injuries and 34 illnesses during the 5 competition days of the W-EYOF were reported, resulting in an incidence of 42.3 injuries and 37.8 illnesses per 1000 athletes, respectively. Injury frequency was highest in snowboard cross (11%), Nordic combined (9%), alpine skiing (6%), and ice hockey (6%), taking into account the respective number of registered athletes. In snowboard cross, females showed a significant higher injury frequency compared to males (22% vs 4%, p=0.033). The lower back (16%), the pelvis (13%), the knee (11%), and the face (11%) were the most common injury locations. About 58% of injuries occurred in competition and about 42% in training. In total, 42% of injuries resulted in an absence of training or competition. The prevalence of illness was highest in figure skating (10%) and Nordic combined (9%), and the respiratory system was affected most often (53%).

Conclusions Four per cent of the athletes suffered from an injury and 4% from illnesses during the 2015 W-EYOF, which is about twofold lower compared to the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2012.

Epidemiology of Lower Extremity Injuries Presenting to the Emergency Room in the United States: Snow Skiing vs. Snowboarding
Steven F. DeFroda et al
Injury; 7 July 2016

Purpose
To quantify and compare the incidence of lower extremity injuries in skiers and snowboarders who present to emergency rooms in the United States.

Methods
Cross-sectional study of lower extremity injuries in skiers and snowboarders that were evaluated in emergency rooms in the United States. The National Electric Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database was queried from January 1st, 2014 and December 31st, 2014 and the reported cases of lower extremity injuries in skiers and snowboarders were examined.

Results
An estimated total of 13,381 snow skiing and 6,061 snowboarding lower extremity injuries presented to the emergency department in 2014 representing a national incidence of 42 injuries per 1,000,000 person-years for skiers and 19 injuries for snowboarders. The most common region of the lower extremity that was injured was the knee for skiers (47%) and the lower trunk (e.g. pelvis, hip, lumbar spine) for snowboarders (34%). The incidence of injuries in the pediatric and young adult population in skiers (62 per 1,000,000 person-years) and snowboarders (40 per 1,000,000 person-years) was significantly higher than the incidence of these injuries in adult population (35 and 12 per 1,000,000 person-years respectively) (P <0.01). The incidence of these injuries was significantly higher in males compared to females in both skiing (46 per 1,000,000 person-years vs. 38 per 1,000,000 person-years, P <0.01) and snowboarding (30 per 1,000,000 person-years vs. 9 per 1,000,000 person-years, P <0.01). The rate of injuries from 2010-2014 for skiers remained stable while snowboarding injuries down trended approaching significance.

Conclusion
The incidence of lower extremity injuries in skiers was higher than that of snowboarders in 2014, with the 0?19 year old age group and males being those most likely to sustain an injury. The most common region of the lower extremity that was injured was the knee for skiers and the lower trunk (e.g. pelvis, hip, lumbar spine) for snowboarders. Physicians and consumers alike should be aware of this data when considering participation in these sports as well as strategies for injury prevention.

Recreational Skiing- and Snowboarding-Related Extremity Injuries: A Five-Year Tertiary Trauma Center Cohort
İzzet Özay Subaşı, Volkan Gür
Cureus. 2023 Jul 30;15(7):e42688.

Introduction: Skiing and snowboarding are widely recognized winter sports with a notable risk of sports-related injuries. Comprehensive knowledge of the injuries sustained during skiing and snowboarding is imperative for preventative strategies and for understanding the injury patterns and epidemiological characteristics from surgeons' standpoint, particularly orthopedic surgeons, given that all anatomical regions and systems are susceptible to harm when engaging in these activities.

Objective: Our research aims to investigate the injury patterns and epidemiological characteristics of individuals seeking medical attention at Erzincan University Faculty of Medicine Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, Erzincan, Turkey, after experiencing recreational skiing or snowboarding injuries.

Methods: During the period spanning from 2018 to 2023, a retrospective analysis was conducted on patients aged between 18 to 65 years who had sustained isolated extremity injuries while participating in recreational winter sports at the Ergan Mountain Ski Center. The causes of injuries were categorized into two types (skiing and snowboarding) based on the subjective description of the injury scene. The study employed the χ2 test for categorical variables and Student's t-test for continuous variables to conduct subgroup comparisons.

Results: The study results revealed that most patients, precisely 53.2%, sustained injuries in their lower extremities, whereas 46.8% sustained injuries in their upper extremities. The most frequently injured area of the patients presenting with skiing injury was the region around the knee (31.2%), followed by around the shoulder (21.6%) and the foot and ankle (14.9%). The anatomical region most injured among patients who sustained snowboarding injuries was the hand and wrist, accounting for 23.9% of cases.

Conclusion: Skiing and snowboarding injuries vary anatomically. While individuals with limited experience are at a higher risk of sustaining injuries, no statistically significant disparity was observed regarding the specific body parts affected among individuals of varying skill levels. Recognizing these sports-related injuries, which are growing in young people, will encourage the use of personal protective equipment to avoid injuries, assure ski resorts' environmental safety, and reduce sports-related morbidity.
