skier's tear Orthopedics Rupture of a skier's ulnar collateral ligament–UCL, seen when a thumb gets caught on the ski pole strap when falling, which prevents pulling the hand away from the pole; when the skier falls, the pole,
especially poles with a saber-type grip, is pushed away from the palm, carrying the thumb with it, causing the UCL to snap. See Skiing. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |
