Abstract

Snowboarding is a quickly developing wintersport. The estimated number of snowboarders in Switzerland lies between 20,000 and 30,000 now. There has not been much published about trauma in this sport. This study was carried out in five Swiss hospitals in the winters 1988/89 and 1989/90. The results were compared with the data of a traumatologically oriented general practice. The pattern of trauma was almost identic, and quite similar to the injuries in skisport. With further development of the snowboard technique and material a change of type and decrease of number of injuries in this sport can be expected.
