Sports medicine presentation
Please follow add the answers to the powerpoint I have attached below. the one titled “ankle fractures in snowboarding”. the references you are using are all listed on the last slide. I also attached the rubric and examples of how I expect it to turn out. be sure that the presentation is no longer than 5 points. When you send back the presentation please be sure it is on my original slides that I have attached. I have each slide titled to what is expected to go on that slide. you can use the examples I provide as a guide not as a reference! thank you and please reach out if you have any questions.

Athletic Injury Care PowerPoint Presentation
Describe the common motions performed while participating in the sport and why the lower extremity
injury assigned is common in the sport. Review both conservative and surgical treatment for the injury,
and describe the proposed treatment that is recommended or required for an athlete. Include
recommended rehabilitation required, including any bracing, strapping, casting, shoe modification,
and/or custom orthotic device that would be beneficial for the athlete during or after conservative care
or for recovery during the post-operative care if surgery is required. Pictures of such devices should be
included.
Remember to include references either on each slide, or in a summary slide of your references at the
end of the presentation. Each group will be allotted 5 minutes of time to present and highlight the key
points.
Submit the presentations to your DSL who will upload files into google drive before the presentation
date so that it will be available to the faculty and for you to review for examination.

Ankle Fractures in Snowboarding
1
Prevalence
• Fracture of the lateral process of the talus
•
Referred to as “Snowboarder’s Fracture/Ankle”
•
15% of all ankle injuries and 34% of all ankle fractures
•
Easily missed with 48% being diagnosed late
•
Misdiagnosis can result in long-term morbidity
2
Mechanism of Injury
• Dorsiflexion of the ankle with inversion of the hindfoot
• Landing from aerial maneuver or jump
• Ankle fractures are more common when wearing soft shell boots and
carry twice the risk of injury compared to hard shell boots
3
Severity of Fracture
• Type of treatment depends on the lateral process fracture grade as
classified by Hawkins
Type I
Simple fracture
NWB short leg cast for 6wks
Type IA
Less than 2mm
displaced
NWB short leg cast for 6wks
Type IB
More the 2mm
displaced
ORIF
Type II
Comminuted
fracture
ORIF
Type III
Chip Fracture
NWB short leg cast for 6wks
4
Conservative Treatments
•
Manual Reduction
•
Immobilization
•
RICE
•
Pain Management
•
Physical Therapy
5
Surgical Treatments
Open Reduction Internal Fixation
• Fracture fragment excision
•
6
History and Physical Exam
HPI: 29-year-old female presents to the ER with left ankle pain
after falling off of her snowboard three hours ago
Vascular & Neuro: Intact
Derm: Distinct swelling and ecchymosis around the lateral
malleolus at the level of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL).
No external lesions.
MSK: Tenderness on palpation around the ATFL. Limited ROM due
to pain. No deformities noted. (-) Anterior Drawer Test.
7
Assessment
•
Radiographs showed possible
fracture line on the Anteroposterior
View but not on the Lateral View
•
CT Scan shows comminuted intraarticular fracture of the lateral
process of the talus
8
Plan
•
ORIF with a k-wire and 2.4mm lag
screws
•
NWB short leg cast for 4wks followed
by WB short leg cast for another 4 wks
9
Follow-Up
•
Follow-up CT scan 2 months postoperatively

Ankle Fractures
In Snowboarding
Motions in Snowboarding
● Snowboarders ride with both feet fixed by non-releasable bindings to a board
● Stand perpendicular to the long axis of their boards
● Snowboarders twists from forward to backward planes instead of side to side like skiers
do
● Gliding lets the snowboarder move around gentle hills on the mountain with one foot
strapped in and the free foot resting on the board.
● Snowboarders “skid” the board on the snow in zig-zag pattern (creates frictional
resistance with the snow).
○ Snowboard edge tilted and the exposed base of the board “plows” into the snow
head on
● Purely carved turn usually done by experienced snowboarders
○ snowboard is pointing in the same direction as its velocity
● 4 basic movements:
○ The more you tilt your board the more you engage
your edge through the turn.
○ By flexing one ankle and extending the other,
you create a twist on the snowboard.
○ Pivot is the rotation of the snowboard and it
helps the board skid through the turn.
○ Keeping your weight centered over the front foot
controls pressure over the board
Mechanism of Injury
Snowboarder’s fracture
● High energy trauma
● Dorsiflexion and inversion in combination with an axial load
○ a possible role of eversion (fixed pronated foot)
○ external rotation at the tibia
○ usually the forcing of ankle into dorsiflexion and inversion occurs during a
landing from an aerial maneuver or a jump, especially when the landing has
been over-rotated
● The talar head laterally shifts. The lateral process of the talus compresses against
the calcaneus and the lateral malleolus
● High incidence in snowboarders due to the use of soft boots which results in more
flexibility around the ankle joint leading to higher risk of foot and ankle injuries
● Movement and the positioning of the ankle joint at the time of injury appear to be
more important than the type of footwear being used
● Commonly misdiagnosed as a lateral ankle sprain
Management According to Hawkins’ Classification
Hawkins’ classification:
I. Simple fractures: extending from the talofibular articular surface to the posterior talocalcaneal
articular surface of the subtalar joint.
II. Comminuted fractures: involving both the articular surfaces and the entire lateral process.
III. Chip fractures: arising from the anterior and inferior portion of the
posterior articular process involving only the subtalar joint and not extending
into the talofibular articulation.
Treatment:
Conservative
● Implicated if fracture is non-displaced/minimally displaced ( 2 mm) fracture:
● Patient can bear right away if only excision/debridement was performed
● With ORIF, 1 week NWB in splint post-op
● Continue to be NWB for 4-6 weeks in short leg cast and crutches
● When healed bony fragments, patient can carefully transition to weightbearing. Will do figure
8 taping method for 6-12 weeks or gauntlet ankle brace
● Patient will also be referred to physical therapy. Ankle ROM and strengthening begin when
healing signs are seen on the x-ray.
● Return to sport in approximately 6 months
