Winter sports participants are returning with more injuries this year—a 15% increase compared to last season at this time. We've treated 800 patients so far, 100 more than the previous year.
Common Injuries
The most frequent include leg fractures and torn knee ligaments. This rise isn't linked to snow conditions but to the booming popularity of winter sports.
Good Preparation is Key
Far too many underestimate preparation. Build your fitness and strengthen muscles well ahead of time, especially your leg muscles, to reduce risks.
