Hand and Wrist Injuries in Golf

Abstract

T HE GAME OF GOLF HAS SEEN substantial growth on a global scale over the last few decades. With more than 60 million players worldwide, it has become a sport that has transcended socioeconomic class, sex, and age. Therefore, the development of golf-related injuries is becoming increasingly prevalent in patients of all ages and golfing ability. It is a commonmisperception that the golf swing is a seemingly benign and low physical demand activity. However, on careful examination, it is composed of a series of coordinated and synchronized movements of the entire body that allows the golf club to generate speeds in excess of 100 mph and launch the ball more than 300 yards. For both professional and amateur golfers, injuries to the hand and wrist are extremely common, and the hand and wrist are the most frequently affected sites, following the lumbar spine. Professional and high-level golfers most often sustain overuse injuries as a result of repetitive swings from frequent practice sessions. Although amateur golfers may also sustain such injuries, the more common mechanisms observed are poor swing mechanics, overzealous playing, or a sudden traumatic event such as hitting a tree or the ground awkwardly.
