Abstract des Autors
In the October issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine (page 156), Dr Renneker discussed the surfing life-style and its allure. In this article he concludes with a discussion of the medical aspects of surfing. Ear and eye injuries are common among surfers, as are sprains and strains of the lower back and neck. Not surprisingly, the sun takes its toll on surfers, as it does on many other outdoor sports enthusiasts, and skin cancer can develop. Dr Renneker presents treatment modes for these common problems. He also suggests ways in which surfers can help prevent them, such as using protective eyewear, sunscreen, and a wet-suit hood or special earplugs. Verf.-Referat
