Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury (Gamekeeper’s Thumb)

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. Men account for 60% of known injuries, often due to falls and injuries during sports activities such as skiing, baseball, and football. Proper management, including imaging with ultrasound or MRI, conservative treatment, or surgery, has a high success rate. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of ulnar collateral ligament injuries of the thumb. The role of interprofessional team members when collaborating to provide well-coordinated care and enhance outcomes for affected patients is highlighted.
