\n<\/strong>\u201cTypical ski injuries include tibial plateau fractures, ACL tears or dislocated shoulders after falls, but wrist and ankle fractures are also frequent. Alpine skiing involves high speeds and immense forces \u2013 which can result in complex and severe injuries to both the upper and lower limbs.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMountain biking accidents, climbing injuries or overuse syndromes caused by hiking, trail running or team sports often bring patients to us in summer. Ankle injuries and contusions after road cycling or e-bike crashes are also common,\u201d explains Dr. Barbetta, and adds:
\n\u201cWe\u2019re also increasingly treating open, contaminated wounds with tendon injuries after bike crashes \u2013 especially off-road. Paragliding, on the other hand, occasionally leads to more serious injuries to the lower leg or ankle, usually caused by hard landings.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWith a highly specialized team, state-of-the-art diagnostics, and personalized care, we make sure our patients get back in motion as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
