Abstract
Kite flying is a common recreational activity in Indian subcontinent during the months of July to September.[1] It takes a competitive turn in the form of “kite fighting” which involves “taking down” the rivals’ kite by cutting its string. The kite string is “enhanced” (commonly known as “manjha” in India) to give a competitive advantage and powdered glass is used for the purpose to give it a cutting edge.[2] [3] [4] [5] This makes kite strings dangerous with potential to cause severe injuries. Head and neck injuries caused by such kite strings are commonly reported, but the literature on tendon injuries remains sparse.
