Abstract

Higher speed in ski sports has in recent years increased the number of thoracoabdominal injuries. Our restrospective study concerns 30 patients from the region of Chur, Switzerland, injured between 1965 and 1976. The patients were all male with an average age of 26 years. Details of the injuries, operations and treatment are given and a few typical cases are demonstrated.
