  https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/82-118/default.html

  An epidemiologic study of vibration white finger (VWF) disease in United States workers using pneumatic chipping and grinding hand tools was conducted. The incidence of primary Raynauds disease in the cohort was 2.6 percent. Forty seven percent of the exposed foundry workers and 19 percent of the exposed shipyard workers had VWF. The tip of the middle finger was affected to the greatest extent by tingling, numbness, and blanching. The median latency for blanching was 1.4 years in the foundry workers and 16.5 years in the shipyard workers. The severity of each stage of VWF was significantly, positively correlated with the number of years the foundry and shipyard workers used chipping tools. Hourly workers had the highest incidence of mild VWF, stage 00. Workers who were employed on a piece work basis had the highest incidence of severe VWF, stages 02 and 03. The results of the sensory tests for temperature, pain, and light touch were significantly associated with the stages of VWF on a population basis, but not on an individual basis. The authors conclude that using pneumatic chipping and grinding hand tools for prolonged times is a significant risk factor for VWF in the populations studied.

• #44 The Epidemiology of Hand and Finger Lacerations in United States Emergency Departments – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35177285/

  Hand and finger lacerations presenting to U.S. emergency departments (EDs) are common, although the burden of these injuries is not well understood. […] Our aim is to describe the epidemiology and causes of hand and finger lacerations in U.S. EDs. […] Annually, hand and finger lacerations account for 243,844 and 587,451 ED visits, respectively. […] Hand and finger lacerations result in a significant number of ED visits. A better understanding of injury trends and presentations can guide injury prevention in manufacturing, education, and public health.

• #45 Finger fractures: Epidemiology and treatment based on 21341 fractures from the Swedish Fracture register | PLOS One

  https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0288506

  There is a lack of detailed epidemiological studies of finger fractures, the most common fracture of the upper extremity. […] The epidemiology of finger fractures is yet described only in limited populations or as sports related injuries, and without regard to detailed information about fracture location or type. […] The aim of this study was to describe anatomical distribution, treatment, and the incidence of finger fractures based on data from the SFR and to assess possible differences in treatment and result in terms of PROMs according to fracture type, treatment, and sex. Epidemiologic research can identify risk factors, groups at risk and describe current treatment for specific a condition. This knowledge can enable better allocation of resources and more correct implementation of evidence-based treatments.

• #46 Mechanism and epidemiology of paediatric finger injuries at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong | HKMJ

  Objectives: To determine the mechanism and epidemiology of paediatric finger injuries in Hong Kong during 2003-2005 and 2010-2012. […] Overall, the mechanisms and epidemiology of paediatric finger injuries were similar between groups A and B. […] Crushing injury of finger by door is the most common mechanism of injury among younger children and accounts for a large number of hospital admissions. […] There has been no significant decrease in the number of crushing injuries of finger by door in the 5 years between the two studies despite easily available and affordable preventive measures. […] Similar to other countries, crushing injury of finger by door was the most common cause of paediatric finger injuries in Hong Kong. […] Although many preventive measures are available and easily accessible at low cost, there were no significant differences in injury mechanism and epidemiology between 2003-2005 and 2010-2012.

  Paediatric crushing injury of finger by door can occur even in the presence of adults. Reinforcement of public education on the use of safety measures, including door modification and precautions in the home, should be conducted to prevent such injuries. […] Crushing injury of finger by door is common. […] Crushing injury by door was the major cause of paediatric finger injuries leading to hospital admission in both 2003-2005 and 2010-2012. […] Despite the easy availability and accessibility of these safety devices, there has been no significant change or improvement in terms of incidence and morbidity of children with crushing injury of fingers by door admitted to Prince of Wales Hospital in the 5-year period between 2003-2005 and 2010-2012. […] Crushing injury of finger by door accounts for the most common cause of paediatric finger injury requiring hospitalisation in Hong Kong.
