Abstract
In brief: Eighty-two of the 126 patients with neurological injuries caused by winter sports sustained concussion. Twenty-nine of these concussions were caused by collisions while skiing. Injuries also were related to inner tubes, snow disks, sleds, toboggans, a ski bob, a snowmobile, and a Sno-Cat. Six accidents were related to chair lifts. The author believes that for every 100 patients who have skiing injuries requiring orthopedic treatment, five to ten sustain injuries to the neurological system. The worst injuries in this study involved hitting trees, other skiers, boulders, or ski lift equipment or performing aerial maneuvers.Keywords
