%X Frostbites are a frequent pathology in mountain sports; we treat 80 cases per years in Chamonix. Usually due to a bad equipment, they are favoured by humidity, wind, the high altitude polycythemia and dehydration. Physiopathology associates a physic phenomenon (freezing) with a vasomotor response. Diagnosis is obvious; the forecast rests on the bone scintigraphy and treatment combines fast warm up, vasodilators, hemodilution and late surgery. Only 8% of our patients have amputations. The best treatment is prevention.<p /><p>Language: de</p>
