Thumb Collateral Ligament Injuries, most commonly ulnar collateral (UCL), are athletic injuries that lead to a decrease in effective thumb pinch and grasp. Diagnosis relies upon thumb MCP radial-ulnar stress exam and MRI studies.
Gamekeeper's thumb (also known as skier's thumb or UCL tear) is a type of injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb. The UCL may be merely stretched, or it may be torn from its insertion site into the proximal phalanx of the thumb. [1]
Gamekeeper's thumb, also known as Skier's thumb, is an injury that affects the Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb. The UCL is a band of tissue that connects the thumb to the hand and helps to stabilize the thumb joint. The injury occurs when the thumb is bent backward or sideways, causing the UCL to stretch or tear.
Gamekeeper’s thumb (or Skier’s thumb) is a condition wherein the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb is torn at the point where the thumb joins the hand at the metacarpal phalangeal joint (MCP).
Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the thumb, also known as skier's thumb or gamekeeper's thumb, is an injury of the ulnar collateral ligament of the first metacarpophalangeal joint. Injuries are often sustained by activities or traumatic events that force the thumb into extreme abduction or hyperextension.
Commonly known as GameKeeper’s or Skier’s Thumb, learn the signs of an Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury of the Thumb and how it’s diagnosed and treated.
A thumb sprain (sometimes called skier’s thumb or gamekeeper’s thumb) happens when a ligament (tissue that connects bones at a joint) in your thumb stretches too much or tears. Most thumb sprains involve your ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), which is located on the inside of your thumb at the first metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint.
