Abstract

Winter recreational sports are a popular activity for children and adolescents, but are not without risk of injury. In a population-based study from the USA, winter sports activities were associated with lacerations (69%), abrasions (20%), and fractures (6%). We present a child with an alpine skiing incident that resulted in a penetrating facial injury from a tree branch, with zygomatic arch fracture.
