Hand Injuries on Artificial Ski SlopeFrom the Department of Plastic Surgery, Hôpital Erasme, Brussels, Belgium Correspondence: Jean P. Van Geertruyden, 2, square Lagrange, 1180 Brussels, Belgium. 50 consecutive patients with injuries due to skiing on an artificial ski slope were seen in our emergency department over a 16-month period; 76% of these involved the hand or wrist. 52.5% of hand lesions were fractures and only one-third of the first ray injuries were sprains of the ulnar aspect of the MP joint. These data significantly differ from those known for skiing on snow.
