[Rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint of the thumb: clinical considerations].
The authors report 40 cases of lesions of the ulnar part of the first metacarpo-phalangeal joint. In their experience only the main collateral ligament's lesions (alone or associated) need a surgical treatment. Only a correct diagnosis and early treatment lead to a complete functional recovery.
