Abstract
This paper evaluates 420 ski injuries occurring in Northern Sweden in 1977. Our main aim was to correlate knee injuries with types of skiing and to note achange in incidence with evolution of equipment. Fifty-eight lesions (13.8) affected the knee joint which is about the same frequency as 10 years earlier nor has introduction of high stiff boots in downhill skiing increased incidence of knee injuries. Cross-country and long distance skiing produced more kneeinjuries (24.7) than downhill skiing (11.4). Cross-country skiers were olderand more women in this group sustained knee injuries. The use of nonrelease type bindings is probably the main reason for this higher incidence but age and different skiing techniques seem to contribute. Verf.-Referat
