However, no evidence exists regarding the specific characteristics of these injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the injury pattern of hand and wrist injuries in youth handball.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Materials and Methods\u2002Two-hundred and ninety-six adolescent elite handball players (mean age: 14.0\u200a\u00b1\u200a0.8 years) completed a retrospective survey regarding their hand and wrist injuries during the previous season. The injury questionnaire was adapted from sports-specific questionnaires to the demands of hand and wrist injuries in handball and included injury location, type of injury and injury severity.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results\u2002One-hundred and twenty-three (42\u200a%) players reported 156 injuries (0.53 injuries per season per player) to their hands or wrists in the past season. Injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joints were most frequently described (n\u200a=\u200a74, 47\u200a%). The thumb was involved in 46 (29\u200a%) cases. Sprains (n\u200a=\u200a113, 72\u200a%) were the most common type of injury. Thirty-six percent of moderate and severe injuries (&gt;\u200a7 days time loss) had not been treated by a physician.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions\u2002The rates of hand and wrist injuries are high in youth elite handball. Injury prevention strategies and return to competition criteria should focus on the thumb and the interphalangeal joints. Further research into these injuries is essential to identify risk factors and to develop adequate injury prevention measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1175-1364","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,27]],"date-time":"2020-08-27T23:03:17Z","timestamp":1598569397000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Traumatic
