N2  - Although certain fractures occurring in skiers have increased or decreased in incidence over the years, it is reasonable to expect that as long as individuals continue to challenge the slopes, fractures will occur. Skiers are healthy, motivated, and have high expectations regarding their recovery. These qualities make them good surgical candidates. Although closed treatment methods are adequate for most fractures, the examples presented in this article serve to illustrate the concept that an aggressive approach to more complicated fractures employing modern techniques generally yields the best results in skiers.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
