Case presentation
A 42 year old man who works as a ski instructor at a ski area near Boston presents to the emergency room after suffering an injury to the right hip. He states that he was skiing through a thin layer of new snow on top of the base snow pack when his right ski caught on something, twisting his leg, at which point he felt something very painful happen to his right hip. He fell down and was unable to stand. He said he though he might have caught a "snow snake."
