Sažetak
Aim: To present experience in the surgical treatment of wrist and hand sports injuries in the last 10 years. Patients and Methods: The study included 70 patients in which, due to hand and wrist sports injuries and lesions, 70 surgeries were performed in the period from March 1st 2010 to March 31st 2020 at University Hospital for Orthopedics and Traumatology Lovran. Results: Of the 70 patients included in this study, 14 (20%) were women and 56 (80%) were men. The age range of the patients was from 10 – 50 years, and the average age was 23,7±8,5 years. The left side was affected in 35 (50%) patients, and the right side in 35 (50%) patients. The hand was affected in 34 (49%) patients with sports injury. The wrist was affected in 36 (51%) patients with sports injury. Of the surgically treated hand sports injuries (28), the most frequent surgical procedures were treatment of metacarpal (20) and phalangeal (8) fractures. Unlike surgically treated hand sports injuries, surgical treatment of wrist sports lesions is frequently than treatment of wrist sports injuries (P<0,001). Conclusions: This is the first study in our population which collected data about surgically treated wrist and hand sports injuries and lesions in the last 10 years. Nearly 10% of all wrist and hand surgeries are surgeries of sports injuries and lesions. Although fractures are the most common cause of surgical treatment for sports wrist and hand injuries, wrist and hand soft tissue injuries and lesions are also a common cause of surgery.
