A history of thumb hyperabduction or involvement at sports at risk point toward a provisional diagnosis. During the exam, a distinction can be made between an overstretched\/sprained (stable MCP joint, Grade 1) or partially torn ligament (unstable but with an endpoint, Grade 2), or a fully torn ligament (Grade 3, no endpoint). An x-ray may show a small bony avulsion that sometimes accompanies the torn ligament. An ultrasound or an MRI scan can be used to confirm the diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03b8\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03af\u03b1\">Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">An overstretched or partially torn ligament, as determined by clinical exam or MRI, can be treated conservatively with a splint. The splint must be worn for about 6 weeks to give your ligament the chance to heal properly. However, a fully torn ligament usually needs surgery. That\u2019s because the UCL usually gets displaced away from its insertion and another structure called adductor aponeurosis gets interposed, preventing the UCL from healing in its anatomical position (<strong>Stener lesion<\/strong>). If the UCL tear is caught early, it can be repaired with a special device called a suture anchor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u03a3\u03b5 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03af\u03c0\u03c4\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c7\u03c1\u03cc\u03bd\u03b9\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b2\u03bb\u03ac\u03b2\u03b7\u03c2 (\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9 \u03c4\u03c9\u03bd 6 \u03b5\u03b2\u03b4\u03bf\u03bc\u03ac\u03b4\u03c9\u03bd), \u03b5\u03bd\u03b4\u03b5\u03af\u03ba\u03bd\u03c5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b7 \u03c7\u03c1\u03ae\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c4\u03b5\u03bd\u03cc\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03bf\u03c5 \u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03c7\u03b5\u03cd\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2, \u03c4\u03bf \u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03bf \u03bf \u03ba. \u03a0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03b3\u03cc\u03c0\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2 \u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03b2\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03ac\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03af\u03bf \u03c3\u03c4\u03bf \u03af\u03b4\u03b9\u03bf \u03c7\u03ad\u03c1\u03b9 (\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ae\u03b8\u03c9\u03c2 FCR \u03ae PL). \u03a3\u03b5 \u03ba\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03af\u03c0\u03c4\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7, \u03c0\u03c1\u03cc\u03ba\u03b5\u03b9\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03bf \u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03c1\u03b1\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bf \u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd\u03ae\u03c2 \u03b3\u03c5\u03c1\u03bd\u03ac\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c0\u03af\u03c4\u03b9 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ad\u03c2 \u03ce\u03c1\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03ac \u03c4\u03bf \u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03bf. \u03a4\u03b1 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5\u03b3\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03b7\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03ad\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1 \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b5\u03be\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u03b5\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bf \u03b1\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5\u03bd\u03ae\u03c2 \u03b4\u03cd\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ad\u03c8\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2 \u03b4\u03c1\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u03b9\u03cc\u03c4\u03b7\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ad\u03c2 \u03b5\u03b2\u03b4\u03bf\u03bc\u03ac\u03b4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u03ac \u03c4\u03bf \u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03b5\u03af\u03bf.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"faq-\u03c3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2-\u03b5\u03c1\u03c9\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2\">FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list\">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1697883483633\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">What is the thumb UCL?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>The ulnar collateral ligament or UCL of the thumb is a strong ligament located at the base of the thumb, in the web space between the thumb and the index finger.
