What is another name for Skier's Thumb?

Skier's Thumb is commonly referred to as Gamekeeper's Thumb. This condition arises from an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb, often due to falls while skiing or gripping a ski pole tightly. The term "Gamekeeper's Thumb" historically originated from a similar injury that gamekeepers would incur from repeatedly twisting the thumb while wringing the necks of game birds. Therefore, using the term Gamekeeper's Thumb acknowledges the mechanism of injury and the typical activities associated with it, making it a well-recognized alternative name for Skier's Thumb.

The other terms listed refer to different conditions or tests in relation to thumb or hand injuries, such as De Quervain's tenosynovitis, which involves inflammation of the tendons in the wrist, and Finkelstein’s test, which is a clinical test used to diagnose De Quervain's. Froment's sign is a test for ulnar nerve function, unrelated to Skier's or Gamekeeper's Thumb.
