AB Forced  radial  deviation  (abduction)  of  the  thumb  can  cause  a  rupture  of  the  ulnar  collateral  ligament  (UCL)  known  as  “gamekeeper’s”  or  “skier’s”  thumb.  The  tear  usually  occurs  at  the  proximal  phalanx  insertion  and  can  be  associated  with  volar  plate  and  dorsal  capsule  injury.  Pain  and  swelling  are  present  over  the  ulnar  aspect  of  the  proximal  phalanx  and  thumb  metacarpal.
