“…Regarding the injured side, it has been reported that 78% of pitchers and 70% of fielders developed abdominal oblique muscle strain on the contralateral batting and pitching sides in MLB [5] . In Australian and English first-class cricket fast bowlers, the injured side of side strain of all 108 bowlers was reported to be the contralateral side [13] . Furthermore, in Australian first-class cricket fast bowlers, all 10 internal oblique muscle strains diagnosed by MRI were on the contralateral side [7] .…”

Background Internal oblique muscle strains can develop in professional baseball players, rendering the players unable to continue playing for a certain period. However, the characteristics of this injury are not well known. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the details of the injury and the post injury course of internal oblique muscle strain in professional baseball players. Methods The subjects were members of a single Japanese professional baseball team with a total of 188 players (81 fielders and 107 pitchers) who developed internal oblique muscle strains from January 2012 to December 2021. The diagnosis of muscle strain was made on the basis of local pain and magnetic resonance imaging findings. The incidence of internal oblique muscle strain, the details of the site of the injury, and the time to return to play were examined. Results There were 28 cases in 23 players (12.2%) of internal oblique muscle strain. The players were 16 fielders (24.7%) and 7 pitchers (7.5%), with a significantly greater incidence in fielders (p = 0.001). Although internal oblique muscle strain was more common on the side contralateral to the batting or pitching side, it occurred on either side. Most of the injury sites were at the region of the muscle insertion to the lower ribs. At a mean time of 36.5 months after the initial injury, 5 players (21.7%) developed another internal oblique muscle strain. The mean time to return to play was 27.7 ± 9.7 days (range, 4–53 days). Conclusions Baseball players who have symptoms at the side of the trunk should be regarded as having possible internal oblique muscle strain, and proactive examination should be considered.

“…Side strain is an injury to the lateral trunk that is reported in cricket fast bowlers [1][2][3][4] and baseball players. [5][6][7] It is an acute (usually) internal oblique muscle injury categorised as either a complete or partial tear of the muscle from the undersurface of one of the inferior ribs, most commonly from the 11th rib, then the 10th, 9th and 12th ribs.…”
