Campbell originally coined the term in 1955 because the condition was most commonly associated with Scottish gamekeepers (especially rabbit keepers) as a work-related injury. The injury occurred as the gamekeepers sacrificed game such as rabbits by breaking the animals' necks between the thumb and index finger of the gamekeeper and the ground. As a result, a valgus force was placed onto the abducted metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint, leading to a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury and chronic attritional injury that resulted in instability, which was accompanied by pain and weakness of the pinch grasp. • In the present day, this type of injury is typically more acute. The most common cause is a skier's hand landing on a ski pole, causing a valgus force on the thumb. The term skier's thumb represents the more acute nature of the injury. Because stability of the thumb is important for prehension, treatment is directed toward optimizing ligament healing to restore full function. • #gamekeepersthumb #skiersthumb #orthopedics #clinicalessentials #usmle #neetpg #nationalexittest #nationalexitexam #mbbs #usmlevideos #usmlestep1
