Snowboarder’s fracture

What is a snowboarder’s fracture?

If you have suffered a bad ankle sprain that doesn’t settle over time and you had X-rays that were ‘normal’, it’s possible that you have had a snowboarder’s fracture.

How is it caused?

A snowboarder’s fracture is thought to be caused by forced twisting of the ankle upwards and outwards, often when landing after a jump.

What are the symptoms?

There is continued pain for a long time after you have been diagnosed with an ankle sprain.

How is it diagnosed?

The fracture is difficult to spot on an X-ray and a further scan, such as a CT scan, will be needed.

How is it treated?

Treatment can involve fixing of the fracture with a small screw, or removal of the small fragment of bone that is causing problems.
