Has anybody injured their shoulder while skiing?

[wvudoc]

As part of a medical research project at West Virginia University, we are conducting a survey of people that have experienced shoulder injuries during wilderness sports. It only takes a few minutes to fill out, and could potentially help us understand treatment options for shoulder injuries. If you have experienced a shoulder injury in this setting, please follow this link to the consent form and project description, and then to the survey. All responses are anonymous. Some of the questions may not apply to your particular injury, and it is okay to just leave those blank. The survey may not support some web browsers, and paper copies are available on request. Any questions regarding the project should be directed to Jack Ditty: jditty@hsc.wvu.edu
Thanks for the help.

There was a dislocated shoulder just this weekend (Saturday) on "The Drop" at Timberline (WV).

Agony, dislocated right and left shoulders 4 years appart. When I was young and training in Moguls and Arials. Complete Agony and took 1 month+ to heal.

I had shoulder surgery due to a ski injury a few years back. (Severe AC separation) I'll be more than happy to help with your research.

Edit: The survey is flawed. It wont let me submit because I didn't answer questions regarding shoulder dislocation. Problem is.....I didn't have a dislocated shoulder. Better luck next time!

I filled it out...

4 shoulder dislocation from skiing/snowboarding
1 shoulder dislocation while mountain biking
1 shoulder dislocation while rock climbing

1 Bankart surgery. 2 years ago: No problems since! Should have got it fixed before that! I would have not dislocated my shoulder the last 2 times!
