N2  - The fracture patterns and concomitant local injuries of tibial ski fractures were analysed on the basis of a series of 524 fractures from 1980 to 1993. 13.4% of the fractures were located in the proximal, 53.8% in the diaphyseal, 8.8% in the distal and 24.0% in the malleolar segment of the tibia respectively. Articular fractures accounted for 87.9% of the proximal and distal segment fractures, not including the malleolar fractures. The occurrence of open tibial fractures was relatively high with 6.7%. In contrast to most publications on 'ski fractures' our rate of articular and malleolar fractures as well as the rate of open fractures is higher.<p />
