  2. Bennett's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett's_fracture

    In the most minor cases of Bennett fracture, there may be only small avulsion fractures, relatively little joint instability, and minimal subluxation of the CMC joint (less than 1 mm). In such cases, closed reduction followed by immobilization in a thumb spica cast and serial radiography may be all that is required for effective treatment. [5]

  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. Avulsion fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avulsion_fracture

    An avulsion fracture is a bone fracture which occurs when a fragment of bone tears away from the main mass of bone as a result of physical trauma. This can occur at the ligament by the application of forces external to the body (such as a fall or pull) or at the tendon by a muscular contraction that is stronger than the forces holding the bone ...

    A broken finger or finger fracture is a common type of bone fracture, affecting a finger. [1] Symptoms may include pain, swelling, tenderness, bruising, deformity and reduced ability to move the finger.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stener_lesion

    A Stener lesion is a type of traumatic injury to the thumb. It occurs when the aponeurosis of the adductor pollicis muscle becomes interposed between the ruptured ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb and its site of insertion at the base of the proximal phalanx. No longer in contact with its insertion site, the UCL cannot spontaneously ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_fracture

    A scaphoid fracture is a break of the scaphoid bone in the wrist. [1] Symptoms generally includes pain at the base of the thumb which is worse with use of the hand. [2] The anatomic snuffbox is generally tender and swelling may occur. [2] Complications may include nonunion of the fracture, avascular necrosis of the proximal part of the bone ...

  9. Triangular fibrocartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_fibrocartilage

    Fractures of the radius bone are often associated by TFCC damage. If the fracture is treated surgically it is recommended to evaluate and if necessary repair the TFCC as well. [12] Closed fractures (where the skin is still intact) of the radius bone are treated non-surgically with cast; the immobilization can also help heal the TFCC.
