Abstract and Figures Acute rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the thumb - also known as 'skier's thumb' - is a common injury which may cause long-term complications if. When the tear results in pain and instability, surgical repair offers a predictably successful outcome. The UCL may be strained or torn (partially or completely) producing a weakened grasping or pinching ability of the thumb. Citation: Kevin E Wilk, Christopher A A, Rebekah J A.
