This 4-year prospective study at 3 major Australian ski resorts assesses incidence and patterns of snowboarding injuries, particularly in rela tion to skill level and footwear. Ski injury data were collected for the same period. In a predominantly male study population (men:women, 3:1), 276 snowboarding injuries were reported; 58% occurred in novices. Fifty- seven percent of injuries were in the lower limbs, 30% in the upper limbs. The most common injuries were sprains (53%), fractures (24%), and contusions (12%). Comparing skiers' versus snowboarders' injuries, snowboarders had 2.4 times as many fractures, partic ularly to the upper limbs (21 % versus 35% of upper limb injuries), fewer knee injuries (23% versus 44% of lower limb injuries), but more ankle injuries (23% versus 6% of lower limb injuries). Ankle injuries were more common with soft-shell boots, worn most by interme diate and advanced riders. Knee injuries and distal tibial fractures were more common with hard-shell boots, worn most by novices. Overall, novices had more upper limb fractures and knee injuries; intermediate and ad vanced riders had more ankle injuries. Falls were the principal mode of injury. To prevent injury, beginners should use \"hybrid\" or soft-shell boots and take les sons.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659302100511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,21]],"date-time":"2007-06-21T20:46:52Z","timestamp":1182458812000},"page":"701-704","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":121,"title":["Australian snowboard injury data base study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Christopher","family":"Bladin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Victorian Ski Association, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Giddings","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mt.
