title: The range of motion of the MP joint of the thumb following operative repair of the ulnar collateral ligament.
abstract: The range of motion of the MP joint of the thumb following repair of the ulnar collateral ligament has been compared with the range of motion of the uninjured thumb. By making this comparison we conclude that there is no good evidence that joint stiffness is a common post-operative complication.
