Abstract des Autors
Two cases are reported: a 27-year-old man fractured the lower leg and an 18 year-old man sustained a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament during windsurfing. Both injuries may be ascribed to the fact that the patients' feet were fixed in footstraps and that their legs were twisted during the fall. Footstraps evidently represent a hazard, and action should be taken towards solving this problem. We suggest that either the footstraps be fitted with a release mechanism or surfers avoid using them.
