The most common skiing injuries – Interview with Dr. Ion Bogdan Codorean

Skiing injuries become all the more common the more experienced the skier is. Those who practise this sport winter after winter venture, as they gain experience, into ever more dangerous areas, thereby exposing themselves to an enormous risk of injury. But injuries caused by a lapse in attention, at low speeds, once the skier relaxes and is no longer paying attention to their movements, are just as common.

The most common injuries affect the lower limbs. Year after year we see cruciate ligament tears, collateral ligament tears and meniscus tears. These conditions can even lead to a ban on practising this sport in the future.

Dr. Ion Bogdan Codorean, consultant orthopaedic surgeon with a subspecialty in sports traumatology, talked about all of this in an interview given to Antena 3.
