A first-ever episode definition produced a lower 2023 rate than the primary estimate, suggesting that primary estimates include some recurrent episodes. Ontario's 2023 incidence of 530 per 100,000 captured a broader range of hand trauma types and was broadly consistent with US contextual rates for finger, hand, and wrist injuries. Ontario crude incident hand trauma cases rose from 41,130 in 1993 to 80,940 in 2023. Age- and sex-standardised hand trauma incidence increased by 38% over 30 years.
