We report the clinical study of 9 Judo players who had painful finger joints and complaints of difficulty in performing. There were 18 joints in all 16 of which (88.9%) had a history of trauma (ex. sprain and collateral ligament injury), but no history of fractures or dislocations. Instability of the joints was not found on clinical examination. Almost all players complained of a limitation in ROM and pain when they gripped a rival's sleeve with finger full flexion. X-ray examination of the finger joints revealed osteoarthritic changes in 15 joints (83.3%) and fragments in 7 joints (38.9%). No statistical differences were found in the techniques and experience between the 9 players and the other 11 players who had no finger complaints. The 2 joints with fragments had no history of trauma, therefore suggesting that they developed due to the distinctive overuse reaction in Judo.
