Cricket players frequently sustain hand injuries, particularly to finger joints during fielding. While most recover well, some experience lasting pain or swelling, with fractures of the middle phalanx base being most severe.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Hand injuries

Background:

  • Cricket is a popular sport with a significant risk of hand injuries.
  • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for prevention and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the epidemiology and characteristics of hand injuries in cricket players.
  • To identify common injury sites and types.
  • To evaluate functional outcomes and identify severe injury patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 55 cricket players with 64 hand injuries.
  • Clinical assessment of 46 patients.
  • Data collection on injury mechanism, location, type, and patient outcomes.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Most injuries occurred during fielding, predominantly affecting peripheral digits.
  • Joint injuries were most common.
  • Eleven cases of middle phalanx base fracture with proximal interphalangeal joint dislocation were noted as severe.
  • Majority of patients reported satisfactory functional outcomes, though some had residual pain, swelling, or deformity.

Conclusions:

  • Cricket hand injuries commonly involve finger joints and occur during fielding.
  • While outcomes are often good, specific injuries like fractures with dislocations require attention.
  • Further research into protective measures and targeted treatment strategies is warranted.
