Snow sports Fractures

Snow sports fractures refer to broken bones that commonly occur during winter activities like skiing or snowboarding. These injuries often result from falls, collisions, or awkward landings. The most frequently affected areas include the wrists, arms, and legs, mainly because of the impact and the body's position during a fall. Wearing protective equipment, such as wrist guards or knee pads, can help reduce the risk of fractures. Immediate medical attention is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment, which may involve rest, immobilization, or sometimes surgery, depending on the severity of the injury.
