Volleyball hand injuries are common, especially among young females, leading to significant long-term issues like stiffness and limited movement. Many players experience lasting inconveniences, highlighting the need for better injury prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Volleyball is a popular sport with a high incidence of hand injuries.
  • Understanding the long-term consequences of these injuries is crucial for player health and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the long-term sequelae of hand injuries sustained during volleyball.
  • To identify risk factors and common injury types in volleyball players.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 226 volleyball players treated for hand injuries over 5 years.
  • Analysis of injury types, affected hand side, player level (recreational vs. competition), and handedness.
  • Long-term follow-up survey assessing persistent complaints after a mean of 5 years.

Main Results:

  • Females (66%) aged 15-29 years were most affected.
  • Sprains/strains (39%), fractures (25%), and contusions (16%) were most common, often involving the fingers (44%).
  • Recreational players sustained more left-sided injuries, and left-handedness increased risk in this group.

Conclusions:

  • A significant percentage of volleyball players experience persistent hand problems, including stiffness and limited movement, years after the initial injury.
  • The high incidence of long-term complaints suggests that volleyball hand injuries may have more severe consequences than previously assumed.
  • Lack of skill and handedness appear to be significant determinants of injury patterns in recreational volleyball players.
