      Skier's Thumb

      SKIER'S THUMB

      Skier’s thumb, also called Gamekeeper’s thumb, occurs when the ligaments that connect the bones of your thumb are torn or overstretched. Blunt force—like wiping out on the slopes while you’re holding a ski pole with your fingers and your thumb is stretched out—can stretch or tear the ligament, along the outside of the thumb. Skier’s thumb can also be caused by an injury that occurs over time.

      For more information on Skier's Thumb, check out our blog -  A Common Injury – Skier’s Thumb

      SYMPTOMS OF SKIER'S THUMB

      • It hurts when you try to pinch an object between your thumb and forefinger

      • You feel as if you don't have enough strength to pinch an object

      • Your thumb may appear crooked, as if it is leaning away from your hand

      WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT SKIER'S THUMB?

      A thumb brace that stabilizes and protects your thumb can be worn to give the ligament time to heal. In some cases, if the ligament has torn away from the bone, a more restrictive thumb brace that will protect the thumb from further injury may be worn until surgery can be performed.
