Injury on the Slopes – Fast-Track Post-Injury Pathway

Comprehensive diagnostics + a post-injury treatment plan

Who is it for?

For skiers and snowboarders who:

• have suffered a fracture or a joint/muscle injury on the slopes and don’t know what to do next,

• received “basic first aid” on site but still don’t have a full diagnosis,

• need a detailed treatment plan that may include surgery and/or rehabilitation,

• expect professional coordination throughout the treatment process.

Fast-Track Post-Injury Pathway

Instead of wandering between random consultations, you get one clear, fast pathway in which we:

• contact you within 24 hours* of purchasing the package—our Patient Care Coordinator will call to schedule appointments and imaging,

• assess the risk and whether urgent action is needed,

• perform the necessary diagnostic imaging,

• arrange a consultation with an orthopaedic specialist experienced in sports injuries,

• provide an individual, tailored treatment plan.

If surgery is required, after your doctor’s appointment you will also meet with a Hospital Care Coordinator, who will walk you through the full surgical treatment process in detail.

What the Fast-Track Post-Injury Pathway includes

1) Initial interview

• how and when the injury happened,

• your current symptoms,

• tests/imaging performed so far (if any).

2) Injury-specific diagnostic imaging

Depending on medical indications, we will perform:

• X-ray (to rule out a fracture),

• Ultrasound (tendons, effusion, haematoma),

• MRI (ligaments/menisci/cartilage/soft-tissue injuries).

3) Orthopaedic consultation

• functional exam, clinical tests, assessment of stability, swelling, and range of motion,

• review of imaging results,

• precise diagnosis,

• a treatment plan tailored to the injury and to your individual needs and capabilities.

You receive:

• imaging results,

• a step-by-step treatment plan,

• a referral for rehabilitation or surgery,

• verification of whether treatment costs may be covered under your insurance policy,

• medical documentation for your insurer/employer,

• sick leave certificate (L4) if needed.

Most common injuries covered by the Fast-Track Post-Injury Pathway

• Knee: sprains; suspected ACL/PCL injury; collateral ligament injuries (MCL/LCL); meniscus injuries; cartilage damage; patella issues; post-traumatic effusion

• Ankle/foot: sprains, fractures, Achilles tendon injuries

• Shoulder & clavicle: dislocations, fractures, rotator cuff injuries

• Elbow: dislocations, contusions, fractures

• Wrist & hand: fractures; “skier’s thumb”; ligament injuries; scaphoid injuries; triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries
