Introduction[edit | edit source]
In recent times snowboarding has increased in popularity dramatically, with this increase in popularity comes an increase in a distinct ankle injury which has been aptly termed ‘snowboarder’s ankle’. Snowboarding is a popular winter sport that includes riding a single board down a ski slope or on a half-pipe snow ramp. Various types of snowboard equipment, rider stance, and snowboarding activity tend to result in several types of injury. Snowboarder's Ankle is the common term for a fracture of the lateral process of the Talus (LPT), often overlooked initially and misdiagnosed as a severe ankle sprain. The term snowboarder’s ankle comes from this fracture being 15x more likely amongst snowboarding associated ankle injuries than any other ankle injuries.[1] Sideways motion, soft (non-hard shell) boots, and being strapped to the board are all factors that influence the higher rate.[2]
