Skier’s thumb is an acute partial or complete rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb’s metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint from hyperabduction trauma.  These thumb braces are designed to stabilize, immobilize the MCP joint of the thumb and support the carpo-metacarpal joint in the thumb. Gamekeeper’s thumb specifically refers to the cause being associated with a chronic injury to the UCL in which it became attenuated through repetitive stress.

Skier’s and Gamekeeper’s Thumb Braces are specialized supports designed to address injuries to the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb. These braces provide targeted compression and stabilization, aiding in the healing process and offering support for individuals managing Skier’s or Gamekeeper’s Thumb conditions.
