abstract="CONTEXT:: Alpine skiing is a popular sport worldwide but has significant risk for injury. The epidemiology of skiing-related injuries has been described, which has led to the identification of risk factors for specific types of injuries. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION:: Pertinent literature from peer-reviewed publications was reviewed. STUDY DESIGN:: Clinical review. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:: Level 5. <br><br>RESULTS:: The adoption of international standards for ski-boot-binding systems has changed the profile of skiing-related injuries over time, as has the widespread use of helmets. An understanding of mechanisms of injury, risk factors, and preventative measures may decrease the incidence of skiing-related injuries. <br><br>CONCLUSION:: Advances in standards for skiing equipment have been effective at decreasing both the frequency and severity of skiing-related injuries, but additional efforts are required to improve the safety of the sport.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
