Downhill skiing injuries and their cost at a Finnish skiing area

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 1991
During the 1987–1990 ski seasons. 325 consecutive patients sustained downhill skiing injuries at a skiing area in central Finland. The calculated injury rate was 0.94 per 1000 skier‐days (0.9%) and 0.56 per 1000 skiers (0.06%). Forty‐one percent of the injuries were located in the lower limbs and 37% in the upper limbs.
