These injuries are usually seen in sports where the ball comes in direct contact with the hands. Forceful dorsiflexion of the finger caused by the speeding ball leads to volar plate avulsion. In cricket, such finger injuries predominantly occur in fielders trying to catch or stop the speeding ball with bare hands. We report two unusual cases of volar plate avulsion injury occurring in batsmen that occurred during \u2018gully cricket\u2019 (street-cricket). We propose the possibility of a novel contrecoup-type mechanism causing this type of injury in the two cases. Both were successfully managed with splinting and had excellent recovery without any residual deformity or instability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2020-238309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,14]],"date-time":"2023-03-14T00:14:00Z","timestamp":1678752840000},"page":"e238309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Uncommon hand injury to the batsman in \u2018gully cricket\u2019: report of two cases"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6404-7906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sujayendra Davanagere","family":"Murali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1891-0104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandesh","family":"Madi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anika","family":"Sait","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"151","DOI":"10.1177\/2292550317716122","article-title":"The role of dynamic ultrasound in the immediate conservative treatment of Volar plate injuries of the PIP joint: a series of 78 patients","volume":"25","author":"Lecl\u00e8re","year":"2017","journal-title":"Plast Surg"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.2","article-title":"Volar plate avulsion injury","volume":"16","author":"Pattni","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eplasty"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(80)80049-9"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(81)80016-0"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"592","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(97)80114-1","article-title":"Large volar plate avulsion fracture of the base of the middle phalanx with rotational displacement: a report of three cases","volume":"22","author":"Takami","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Hand Surg Am"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1377","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2008.04.012","article-title":"The epidemiology of sports-related fractures of the hand","volume":"39","author":"Aitken","year":"2008","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0266-7681(91)90180-V"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1142\/S0218810415500124","article-title":"Hand and wrist injuries in professional County cricket","volume":"20","author":"Ahearn","year":"2015","journal-title":"Hand Surg"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.91B6.21953"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archsurg.1965.01320070159033"},{"key":"2025082803444997000_13.12.e238309.11","unstructured":"Payne WN , De Jesus O , Payne AN .
