Ankle/foot injuries decreased from 35% to 22% from 1989-2000 in a study of telemark injuries in Sweden. During this time, the proportion of high boots used by cross-country competitors increased from 24% to 67%. Also, the severity of ankle/foot injuries classified as the Abbreviated Injury Scale group 2 or higher decreased from 33% to 21%. A possible explanation could be the increased use of high boots (Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy, November 2001, Vol. 9:6, pp. 386-391).
