TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Ski injuries JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Mueller, J. K. A1 - Drill, F. E. A1 - Litman, T. A1 - Davis, M. W. SP - 802 EP - 808 VL - 17 IS - 10 N2 - A group of 147 injuried skiers seen in the emergency room of a midwestern hospital was studied. There were almost twice as many males as females, and lower-extremity injuries outnumbered upper-extremity injuries two to one. Leg injuries tended to occur in beginners whose bindings failed to release. Upper-extremity injuries were prevalent in better skiers whose bindings released properly. Frequent binding checks only slightly improved the likelihood of proper binding function. LA - SN - 0022-5282 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
