The objective of the study was to find out dexterity function of PUBG players with cell phone elbow syndrome and to determine its prevalence. The study was a cross-sectional design conducted at the University of Management and Technology, Lahore. A convenience sampling method was employed, resulting in a sample size of 204 PUBG-playing students. Tinel sign and Michigan hand outcome questionnaire were used as data collection tools for evaluation. The current study showed that 204 participants were enrolled, of which 22.55% of participants demonstrated moderate dexterity loss on the Michigan hand outcome questionnaire, and 15.2% had a positive Tinel sign test. The prevalence of cellphone elbow syndrome was 15%. These findings concluded 15% prevalence of cell phone elbow syndrome in PUBG players. While no significant association was observed between cell phone elbow syndrome and dexterity function, 46 participants exhibited moderate dexterity loss.
