[Carving skiing].

At present there are approximately 4.2 million skiers in Germany with 82 million worldwide. The ski revolution of carving has been on its triumphant march worldwide for around 8 to 9 years. About 80% of all skiers now use carving skis and normal skis are hardly offered in the retail trade or by ski hire companies. The intense and controversial discussion of the past few years on the influence of carving for the risk of injuries in alpine skiing now appear to be answered. There has not been any increase in the risk of injuries. These results are confirmed by studies in other countries. In order to continue to reduce the number of skiing accidents, more attention should be paid to changes in the age structure of skiers and changes in skiing style owing to use of the carving ski, with measures for accident prevention. Specific physical preparation for the skiing season are more important than ever. Special attention must still be focused on observing FIS rules and general care.

[Cartilage injuries of the femoro-patellar joint in the computerized tomogram].

The conventional arthrographic methods for demonstration of the femoro-patellar joint are not sufficiently reliable. Through the use of CT-arthrography a cross-sectional image free of superimposition and possessing a high density resolution is available thus facilitating a direct demonstration of the joint cartilage. Traumatic and degenerative lesions of the cartilage can be clearly shown by CT-arthrography. Damage of cartilage in patients with chondromalacia patellae can be differentiated in its different stages. The shape of the patella and its relation to femoral condyles can be evaluated more accurate than by conventional axial x-rays.

[Changes in stress to the knee joint in skiing from a medical viewpoint with special reference to the modern ski shoe and the skiing technic].

The changed skiing-technique with more knee flexion (so called jet-position) has lead to rising pressures in the femoro-patellar joint. The danger of traumatic and arthritic diseases has increased as well. We suggest to avoid extreme anteflexed crural position in the ski-boots (more than 5 degrees). It should be possible to walk and stand in ski-boots without pressure on the knee-joint. This problem is most important in the growing locomotor system.
