Abstract
Acute traumatic injury of the appendicular skeleton requires fracture detection, classification, and then treatment, usually in an Emergency (Radiology) Department. Nearly every weekend, radiologists are confronted with various fracture types. In The Netherlands, the sudden reappearance in the winter of 2009 of below-freezing temperatures led to an enthusiastic increase in ice skating — with a dramatic increase in fractures, mainly of the wrist, in Dutch hospitals!
