Diagnosing Common Skiing Injuries
If you get injured skiing abroad, you’ll probably first be treated at the ski resort. But you’ll still need additional care once you’re stable, so please bring any relevant X-rays, scans and paperwork with you.
Common injuries we treat include:
- Knee ligament injuries (including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) rupture or tear)
- Ankle ligament injuries
- Fractures
- Wrist and hand injuries
- Concussion
