ACL injuries are caused by several factors. One of the most common causes is a twisting force being applied to the knee, causing it to buckle, which can happen with or without a collision. Skiers are particularly susceptible to these types of strains when landing jumps, skiing moguls, or.
An ACL injury is one of the most common injuries in downhill skiing and involves sudden stops or changes in direction. The next most common type of ACL injury is caused by the skier’s boot; when the top of the back portion of the boot pushes the tibia forward away from the femur.Bottom line: Knee-ligament injuries—and torn ACLs in particular—are a common occupational hazard of skiing. According to the Steadman Clinic, a world-renowned orthopedic surgery and research center in Vail, Colo., ACL tears are one of the most common knee injuries, with approximately 200,000 cases diagnosed annually in the U.S. alone.
ACL Injuries and Downhill Skiing: How to Prevent Them and Still be a Bad Ass Today’s guest post comes from Roland Searle, a limey Brit who now resides in Canada and is a high level ski coach. Roland also works in my gym, so he gets to see me sing poorly and get clients doing all sorts of weird and funky stuff, and he’s slowly figuring out.No Surgery, No Problem: Skiing After an ACL Injury Like a Pro Tearing an ACL is an avid skier or snowboarder’s worst nightmare (falling squarely behind “getting caught in.The knee is the most commonly injured area in skiing, accounting for 33% of total injuries, while 38% of knee injuries involve rupturing the ACL. C Competitive skiers, high level skiers and ski instructors have 47% likelihood of sustaining a major knee injury during their career.
Why is this a problem?In alpine skiers, 194 (57 %) left ACL injuries and 146 (43 %) right ACL injures were observed. However, there were no significant differences in knee flexion angle during the trunkturning test.The most common injury in skiing is an ACL disruption.29This risk is high compared to that of the general population, and it is about equal to that of playing American football.17Note that the overall rate of injury in skiing has dropped 55% over the 34 years ending in 2006 and that ACL sprains have dropped by 42% over the 14 years ending in 2006.29.SKIING AFTER ACL INJURY It doesn’t have to be impossible to get back to skiing after an ACL injury.
Allow me to make that clear from the start �� It does, however, require specific, goal oriented training. In the following you can read a little about what happens after an ACL injury.Skiing demands aerobic conditioning, strength and balance.
Ski injuries can be significant and serious. Knee ligament injuries are the most common, particularly involving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Injuries of the knee account for over 45 percent of all ski-related injuries.Then, new ACL Cells are deposited upon the scaffold, creating a stronger ACL graft. The timeframe for this: less than 9 months.
However, we must remember that the scaffold phase is the time when the new graft is at its weakest. The new ACL many be less than half of its original strength from 8-12 months after surgery. Now Let’s Talk About Rehab.injuries are the most common, with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) disruptions being the most significant in terms of time loss from sport. Three specific mechanisms of ACL injury in alpine ski racers have recently been described (slip-catch, dynamic snowplo.
In fact, about 25% of ACL tears from recreational ski injuries heal by themselves. One reason for this could be that ACL tears from skiing are often less traumatic than the tears due to pivot sports (e.g., soccer or football). Most skiers report tearing their ACL during a tumble in which their ski rotates too far.Alpine skiing is a popular sport worldwide but has significant risk for injury. The epidemiology of skiing-related injuries has been described, which has led to the identification of risk factors for specific types of injuries.
Typical facial injuries in skiers and snowboarders include facial fractures, dental injuries, and dentoalveolar soft tissue injuries (21,35,36). In both skiing and snowboarding, males are more likely to sustain facial fractures. Snowboarders tend to have more maxillofacial injuries than skiers (36).

I had my knee replaced recently after this ski season. I ski with others who have had their knee replaced. They seem to be doing well while skiing. When I start skiing next season, I’m going to be very apprehensive and cautious. Do you have any recommendations for me for the up coming season. Thanks.
i tore acl mcl and lcl all in one shot skiing 2 years ago and had surgery on acl but my knee still will buckle if in the right circumstance dont think i can ever hit slopes again
awee you sounded in so much pain. I felt so bad hearing you. Give us an update on how you healed. It happened to me too but with my MCL.
Was so lucky last week, I fell back between my skiis ( was a cloudy day, my inside ski cough a pileup of fresh snow, my outside was on the ice behind, I lost my balance, pivoted and kaput) but they both released perfectly, no injuries no strange noises, no nothing. Maybe my 30 km day cycle from and to college helped my knee, but also thanks God for this amazing bindings ahah
roses are red
blueberries are blue
the moment you’ve been waiting for is 1:42
Ca faisait mal à moi. Vraiment, Je suis cet type de skiiier�� quelquene aide moi
Hey man, tore mine on Dec 30th 2015 Sucks. Would love to talk to you about how you recovered, initial days etc.
The suits should be designed to create more drag and slow them down quicker when they crash.
Awesome drive from Filip Zubcic!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYHqDtACP3Q&feature=youtu.be
Thanks man. I broke my greater tuburcule with my supraspinatus. A avuulsion fracture. Do you have any solution to keep shoulders while ski?
It amazes me when I hear skiers and snowboarders say “I don’t need a helmet because I don’t suck” It happens to the pros too. If he didn’t have a helmet on, that ski could have went right into his head.
same thing happened to me playing cricket. what the heck is wrong with us? doctors cant tell me
Question…What is the correct way to fall? My ski instructor said the best way is to fall backwards…
Jesus,I felt my legs was in pain as well when I saw the crashes in this video.
Btw, the conditions were not bad icy courses are liked by lots of WC athletes. I watched that live on TV i cried, cause you immediately knew that’s a career ender, insanely brutal injury.
great vid. Gave you a little repost. http://www.examiner.com/article/ski-gear-review-shock-doctor-ultra-knee-support-provides-stability Enjoy skiing this winter
Lol i just fell on skiis and twisted both my knees like craazy, was lucky however nothing snapped or broke, no pain only a bit swollen. Dangerous stuff!
Ok I only liked it because you shared it. Damn bro pretty lucky you had friends there with you!!!! Thank you for posting!!!!
I just want to comment and say I wish I would’ve watched your video before falling (like this) and successfully tearing my ACL.
From the beginning I could see he was shaking to much and he looked scared not surprised he fell
Spend a few days studying anatomy videos of all the muscles and tendons of the leg, hips and foot. How they all work together to perform movements we take for granted, it’s remarkable. Then look at the skiers traveling at very high speeds and the massive forces their limbs can endure at when things go wrong. These can often life be long injuries that never fully heal. These skiers operate at the highest levels. They know the risks and push things to the limit, but might come to regret it later in life.
It was my 2nd time ever skiing today and I tore my ACL. Lucky me, right? Gonna try again sometime, though.
I feel so bad for you man… ACL tears are no joke. One of my friends runs his own business, and he tore his ACL fucking around on a bunny slope. He had to shut down his company for over 6 months to recover. I see this video was posted 4 years ago so I hope you’re going well man
I wish I wouldve been taught how to fall before I tried Skiing D: Only took one fall to tear my ACL.
Ouch! Videos amazing but please make them longer. They way to short. Once u hit play sat on the couch, found comfortable position it’s gone
How to avoid ACL injury while #skiing How to avoid ACL injury while skiing! #wintersport #sportinjury #canada #winter #bluemountain
I was hit from behind by an idiot on skis and crashed in early December. My left ski didn’t eject and my left leg twisted somehow. Fortunately my ligaments are ok however my meniscus is torn, I do not know how much as I never got given the results of the MRI I had in January. Still waiting for a complete diagnosis and any sort of treatment (I live in England…) and could be many more months yet as our healthcare system is shut down. For the last month the injury has worsened, I’m getting a pain in a more central position in my knee (initially it was only in the medial area) which is making walking difficult, I am struggling on stairs a lot and downward gradients, my knee is hyperextending and giving way. Any thoughts on why this may be and how I can try and improve it while I’m stuck at home. I am doing some exercise biking, walking, leg raises and some exercises with elastics and Pilates ring. I am desperate to get back to sports but the damage just feels too bad.
Grand. Julia Marino is the first Paraguayan in Winter Games!!!
This is my biggest fear in skiing. I’m trying to study these videos to find a way of prevention. I was thinking maybe if you tucked your leg in it might’ve saved your ACL. From the videos I’ve been watching at 0.25 speed it seems almost all ACL tears happen when the leg is extended.
That looked and sounded like the crispiest ice-snow imaginable. I’m not the least bit surprised that he got injured when the run is in such awful shape.
Hey james. Nice video. You also got some tips on how you should fall if you lost control of your skis?
The sitback fall is really dangerous because it could result in a torn acl

Show us Erin!

He didn’t break anything, he tore his ACL,MCL and maniscus. Which is 10x worse than breaking any bone. I can tell you from personal experience it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life compared to a broken collar bone, broken arm, broken leg, fractured fingers…it’s bad.
Much more helpful than the lists of things to remember. Thank you. Returning to ski today after 20+ years snowboarding-only! Want to do it safely.
Thanks, that was a really good insight into the injury which I now have.
It’s been close on 10 months, but I’ll be back on the slopes in a couple of weeks!
Happened to me about a year and 1/2 ago. Was on a black diamond and went off a jump on the side of the slope and landed wrong. It was the last run on the last day of the trip. Everyone thought I sprained it and the buckling during PE was just one of the after effects, even the trainer. Last August the first week of soccer tryouts my knee just gave up. Went to get it checked out and had a full ACL tear. The doctor told me that I had to have reconstructive surgery on my ACL and meniscus (which also had a small tear too). The doctor told me I was the youngest ACL tear she had seen (I was 12). Now, with me hopefully going to be cleared for sports again, I’m ready to hit the slopes again. It’s gonna be hard for me because I’m scared it’s gonna tear again. Any advice?
Great content as usual. Greetings from a hardcore skier from New Hampshire/de facto family
& neighborhood ski technician. Are you aware of any information on the mechanics of ski
touring? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I get the impression that the combination of a hinge
point at the toe piece, a free heel at a relatively high angle in relation to the toe piece, a stiff boot
and a relatively forward stance, put the knees in a vulnerable position. Could you make a video
on this subject? Keep up the good work Cynthia. Stay safe during this pandemic.
Great Job Cynthia> Now if I can just get the rest of my body to play along, I might get back on the mountain next Winter. Stay safe
I’m sure you can all relate but don’t hesitate, the crash is at 1:38 thank you.
Hello James,
It seems preferable to wear for preventing any ligaments tearing and tibia’s fracture, which represent the majority of the accidents during skiing, a protective gear at low cost KNEEMAX. We are developing this device in collaboration with a biomechanical laboratory and our race national team. KNEEMAX was developed specifically for skiers.

He’s currently racing and doing well. The compression that occurs going from steep to flat caused his crash, he didn’t prepare for it probably due to being tired at the end of the course. And ski racers prefer a firm to icy surface because it will be more consistent, fair and safer (less to catch). The longer speed skis have more than enough holding power and razor sharp edges. Finally, I’ve raced on easier courses and have broken several bones as well as ACL, other injuries. They all hurt and are different depending on the situation hard to say one is worse than the other but I think fear of the unknown and shock are worse than simple pain.
Great video. I damaged my MCL 6 weeks ago (grade 2) and im skiing next week. Should I wear a knee brace?
Wow! I learned a lot about how to keep my knees safe. Really informative! Definitely incentive to make sure I stay in shape and do it in a way that will be protective of my knees!

Thanks for the tutorial! I also heard a pop while I was in the lodge, but then I realized that it was just Anthony opening up my beer! Cheers, Cynthia, stay healthy!
What? He did not make a mistake, but his leflt ski left his boot. About 1:57
When he fell.. you could just see how unnaturally his legs moved and bent.. it absolutely horrified and made me cringe so much
I almost did that last year
But later I was going down a very easy green and the snow was extremely icy
My skis dig into the ice and dislocated my knee cap and it popped back by its self so violent I tore my meniscus in half and broke bone off in my knee
One of the reasons that skiing injuries clan be so bad is that the skis are set up to only come off if a force of more than 200kg (approx.) is extorted on the bindings. This means that they will stay on as you roll down the slope and they’ll pull and twist your leg in any way they want.
i like the guy that helped he seemed very concerned, he kinda laughed at the start but then he realized it was serious, good thing he was there:p
When downhill skiers crash it is almost never their fault.
The massive set of stones between their legs messes with their balance.
Me: can’t stand watching people get hurt or injured
Also me: BREAKS LEGS?! I gotta see this!
And my couch was bitching about his bindings topping at 16 DIN…
Hi Is there anyway I could get in touch with Dr. Martha. I tore my ACL 3 weeks back and am based in SF, and very interested in her non-invasive option. How do I get in touch with her?
Guy on a radio show I listen to had a pretty bad tibial plateau fracture from skiing. Hit a patch of ice and slid into a pole. That was over a year ago and it’s still bothers him.
I just recently tore my ACL from a stupid fall off a really small jump in which I landed almost standing and my torso followed one direction and skis another. I’m VERY certain that if I had fallen backwards or had my body leaned back more, I would have probably banged my head (I was wearing a helmet) and fallen on my ass but not lost control and fallen directly on my knee and pivoted sideways on it.
I guess it depends on how you lose control before you fall, but instinctively I would have guessed that falling in a sitting motion and then sideways would be a more ‘correct’ way to bail. I always see pro skiers that bring their knees up to their chests when airborne, which makes me think that maybe falling in that position is also a great way to not become a lose ragdoll after the first impact as you said with that ‘startle reflex’.
anyways, sorry to bore you, with a bad leg I’ve had too much free time!
I went skiing with school on January to Austria and someone smashed into me and I fell and my ski didn’t come off and twisted my Leg It fricking hurt but I carried on for the day because it was our last run but then the trachers had to inspect our health and I showed them my leg and it was double the size and was bruised so they took me to a hospital there and turned out it was my ACL so now I have 2 metal rods on my leg and I’m not aloud to do no more exercise for months
