title: [Rupture of the achilles tendon and eversion fracture of the inner malleolus - a typically combined injury in alpin skiing (author's transl)].
abstract: 5.3% of all ruptures of the Achilles tendon occurring during alpin skiing are accompanied by an eversion fracture of the inner malleolus. The frequency of this type of combined trauma has not changed in the last fifteen years. A typical eversion trauma resulting in the inner malleolus being torn off, but not involving a rotation motion, occurs in the second phase of an acute angle foreward fall, in which in the first phase, the Achilles tendon has already been ruptured. Simply catching an edge, for the most part of the outer ski edge, does not lead to an eversion fracture as has formerly been supposed.
