Snowboarding Trauma

Snowboarding related injuries has rapidly become a significant part of many orthopaedic units, which cover areas involved with winter sports.

It is also seen in some centers in England, where there are dry-slopes, where the range of injuries though different from that of snow associated boarding. In these centers the injuries are seen through out the year, and not seasonal. There is a lack of epidemiological studies with regard to dry-slope injuries on a large scale.

The individual components of each of the sections will be linked either to another site of good quality reference or an article will be written and posted in the current weeks.
Here are some articles published in Medical Journals regarding the Snowboarding Related Injuries. If you find any more which I may have omitted please feel free to email me.
