Hand injuries at leisure. 1985

A S Campbell

In a survey of 383 moderate and severe hand injuries in adults, 246 (64.4%) occurred outwith work. Falling (sixty-four patients) and punching (forty-eight patients) were the commonest mechanisms of blunt injury. Glass (eight), knives (seven) and "do-it-yourself" materials (eight) were most frequently implicated in sharp trauma. No outstandingly dangerous hobbies or social activities were identified.
