2. Ulnar collateral ligament of thumb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament...

   The ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb runs along the ulnar side of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint of the thumb. The ulnar collateral ligament is an important stabilizer of the thumb. It is on the radial side of the wrist, but on the ulnar side of the thumb. It should not be confused with the ulnar collateral ligament of wrist joint.

3. Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the thumb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_collateral_ligament...

   Gamekeeper's thumb and skier's thumb are two similar conditions, both of which involve insufficiency of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb. The chief difference between these two conditions is that skier's thumb is generally considered to be an acute condition acquired after a fall or similar abduction injury to the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint of the thumb, whereas gamekeeper ...

4. Collateral ligaments of metacarpophalangeal joints - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collateral_ligaments_of...

   In human anatomy, the radial (RCL) and ulnar (UCL) collateral ligaments of the metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) of the hand are the primary stabilisers of the MCP joints. [1] A collateral ligament flanks each MCP joint - one on either side. Each attaches proximally at the head of the metacarpal bone, and distally at the base of the phalynx.

5. Stener lesion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stener_lesion

   The ulnar collateral ligament is an important stabilizer of the thumb. Thumb instability resulting from disruption of the UCL profoundly impairs the overall function of the involved hand. Because of this, it is critical that these injuries receive appropriate attention and treatment. [citation needed]

6. Acquired hand deformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquired_hand_deformity

   Gamekeeper's thumb, also known as skier's thumb, is characterised by a diminished ability to grasp or pinch with the thumb due to damage to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). [4] Gamekeeper's thumb can be caused by acute injury or chronic overuse, often arousing from a fall where the hand is extended that leads to forceful separation of the ...

7. Interphalangeal joints of the hand - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphalangeal_joints_of...

   Joints of the hand, X-ray Interphalangeal ligaments and phalanges. Right hand. Deep dissection. Posterior (dorsal) view. The PIP joint exhibits great lateral stability. Its transverse diameter is greater than its antero-posterior diameter and its thick collateral ligaments are tight in all positions during flexion, contrary to those in the metacarpophalangeal joint.

9. Radial collateral ligament of thumb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_collateral_ligament...

   The radial collateral ligament of the thumb extends from the first metacarpal head to the proximal phalanx of the thumb. It is located on the radial side of the joint and is weaker than the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb. [1]
