Frictional forces and ankle fractures in sport

H Menck et al. Br J Sports Med. 1983 Dec.

Abstract

The frictional forces between the sports footwear and the ground can induce distorsion trauma to the lower extremity. Two cases are reported in which fractures about the ankle are related to this friction. An adjustment and reduction of the frictional forces are recommendable.
