Jammed Finger Injury

Rohit out of series

Rohit Sharma was added to India's injury list after the batsman was ruled out of the ODI series against England due to a fractured index finger.

Sharma jammed his finger against the handle of the bat after a Stuar Broad bouncer hit him on the gloves off the first ball he faced in the first ODI at Chester-le-Street on Saturday.

Sharma, visibly in a lot of pain, was taken to the hospital for a scan, which revealed a fracture on the index finger of the right hand.

Drummer Middle order has been advised rest for three weeks, will automatically stop the series even though there has been no official announcement about this from the BCCCI.

India made a disastrous tour of England with Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Sharma Ishanti return home with injuries and the future Sachin Tendulkar in the series is in the balance.

Tendulkar has aggravated a toe injury and seek medical advice to decide whether he will be able to play in the series.

Justin Smoak of the Seattle Mariners and His Jammed Finger ...

As a Mariners fan I am concerned about Justin Smoak and his jammed finger, specifically his jammed thumb.  It’s certainly possible Smoak has some other type of thumb injury, but if he has a jammed finger type injury it is likely to be very slow to resolve.   Jammed finger is often called basketball finger because of the frequency seen in basketball players, where in trying to catch the ball a finger is accidently hit on the end while held rigidly straight and the first finger joint is jammed.  In the thumb there are only two phalanges so the proximal interphalangeal joint is the only interphalangeal joint.  The thumb is also pretty critical to a baseball player for hitting.  To grip a bat and generate power while hitting the ball the thumb on the upper hand is critical.  I expect if he has this injury that his hitting left handed will be more severely affected than hitting right handed.

The usual treatment of a jammed finger other than the thumb is to support the finger by buddy-taping the finger to an adjacent finger for splinting while allowing pretty normal function of the hand.  With the thumb this is of course not possible.  The natural course of healing of a jammed finger is quite prolonged.  The joint can become swollen and inflamed, and the swelling can last many months.  Good function usually returns in a matter of a week or two, but my prediction is that Smoak will end up on the 15 day DL to recover from this injury if he has a jammed finger.  If it is just a less serious contusion he may recover more quickly.   If he had an ulnar collateral ligament tear it would have been evident by now.  That type of injury seems very unlikely given the nature of the injury but given that it was on his throwing hand, and not protected by his baseball mitt it is possible to get an ulnar collateral tear from being hit by a batted ball.
