Reminiscing my snowboarding days
If time were in the xs for me, a MS 2 at Monash, then i probably will delve further into each injury.
These are what i can think of for now.
Common snow sport injuries and relevant anatomy
Musculoskeletal
- Fractured scaphoid
- #-ed skull, most worringly of all # of pterion (ant. br. of maxillary art.)
Neuro (not v common but i reckon rather interesting fr a med student pt of view)
- Trochlear nerve injury (housemate’s experience, could be up in some journal or bulletin of RACGP pretty soon)
- Spinal cord injury
The list goes on..
Any more, readers?
Or perhaps, any snowboarding/skiing experiences gone awry?













Never been snow boarding, but have skiied. I would think that some of the injuries are similar. You are probably too young to remember that Sonny Bono was killed in a skiing accident (http://www.cnn.com/US/9801/06/bono.obit/index.html)
