UK doctors are preparing themselves for an increase in the number of Wii-related injuries this festive season, as more non-traditional gamers sink their teeth into the Big N's disruptive gaming landscape.

According to The Telegraph, doctors warn that those unused to exercise will strain themselves playing the console - one of the season's hottest gifts.

A new injury called "Wii Knee" has already been identified in the Yorkshire city of Leeds, a follow-on from last year's spate of back injuries, some practitioners blaming these injuries on fathers trying to keep up with their younger children on the console.

"We treated a patient this week who had injured herself using a Wii. She was playing with a partner and fractured one of the bones in her finger when he hit the back of her hand with the control," one doctor revealed.
