Radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) is most prevalent in the hand. The association of hand injury with pain or OA is unclear. The objective was to describe the relationship between hand injury and ipsilateral pain and OA in cricketers. Data from former and current cricketers aged ≥ 30 years was used. Data included history of cricket-related hand/finger injury leading to > 4 weeks of reduced exercise, hand/finger joint pain on most days of the last month, self-reported history of physician-diagnosed hand/finger OA. Logistic regression assessed the relationship between injury with hand pain (in former cricketers) and with OA (in all cricketers), adjusted for age, seasons played, playing standard. Of 1893 participants (844 former cricketers), 16.9% reported hand pain, 4.3% reported OA. A history of hand injury increased the odds of hand pain (OR (95% CI) 2.2, 1.4 to 3.6). A history of hand injury also had increased odds of hand OA (3.1, 2.1 to 4.7). Cricket-related hand injury was related to an increased odds of hand pain and OA. This highlights the importance of hand injury prevention strategies within cricket. The high prevalence of hand pain is concerning, and further research is needed to determine the impacts of hand pain.
放射学骨关节炎（OA）在手最为常见。手部受伤与疼痛或 OA 的关联尚不清楚。目的是描述板球运动员手部受伤与同侧疼痛和 OA 的关系。使用了年龄≥30 岁的前板球运动员和现役板球运动员的数据。数据包括与板球相关的手部/手指受伤史，导致运动减少超过 4 周、过去一个月大部分日子手部/手指关节疼痛、自我报告的手部/手指 OA 病史。逻辑回归评估了受伤与手部疼痛（在前板球运动员中）和 OA（在所有板球运动员中）之间的关系，调整了年龄、参赛季节、比赛标准。在 1893 名参与者（844 名前板球运动员）中，16.9%报告手部疼痛，4.3%报告 OA。手部受伤史增加了手部疼痛的几率（OR（95%CI）2.2，1.4 至 3.6）。手部受伤史也增加了手部 OA 的几率（3.1，2.1 至 4.7）。与板球相关的手部受伤与手部疼痛和 OA 的几率增加有关。这凸显了在板球运动中预防手部受伤策略的重要性。手部疼痛的高患病率令人担忧，需要进一步研究确定手部疼痛的影响。
