Abstract
ABSTRACT Fielding injuries are the predominant contact injury in cricket, with the fingers taking the blunt of the trauma due to direct hit by the ball while taking catches. Many types of hand and finger injuries like soft tissue contusions, fractures/dislocations and ligament and joint sprains have been observed in this popular team sport. One of the unique kind of hand injuries associated with cricket is the avulsion of the volar plate of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP). Here, we report this unusual injury in a 24-year-old cricketer, its management and 3-month follow-up along with a review of hand injuries in cricket.
