Abstract
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) rupture of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, in literature also known as skier's thumb, is an acute injury commonly seen in athletes such as skiers and handball players. This type of tear is associated with a Stener lesion where part of the torn UCL is displaced dorsal and superficial to the adductor aponeurosis. This report aims to present a case of Stener lesion in a young patient that was successfully treated surgically.
