Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Indoor cricket is a popular winter sport with a lack of reported injury data.
  • Previous research has not documented the specific injuries associated with indoor cricket.
  • Accident Compensation Corporation data indicated 520 injuries in indoor cricket in 1987.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the types and outcomes of finger and thumb injuries sustained in indoor cricket.
  • To highlight the potential for residual impairment following indoor cricket injuries.
  • To provide initial data on the injury profile of this popular sport.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case review of 33 patients with finger and thumb injuries.
  • Data collected over two seasons of indoor cricket participation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of injury types and patient outcomes, including residual effects.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 33 finger and thumb injuries were documented.
    • The majority of injured patients experienced residual stiffness.
    • Significant rates of deformity and loss of function were observed post-injury.

    Conclusions:

    • Indoor cricket is associated with a notable incidence of finger and thumb injuries.
    • These injuries can lead to long-term functional deficits.
    • Further research and preventative strategies are warranted for indoor cricket.
