“…Injuries to the thumb volar plate occur rarely compared to the remaining digits, and commonly result from traumatic MCP joint hyperextension (9) . The progressive spectrum of injury ranges from isolated limited hyperextension sprain to complete dislocation with associated proximal phalangeal base fracture, capsular disruption, and collateral ligament injury (7,10) .…”

“…The progressive spectrum of injury ranges from isolated limited hyperextension sprain to complete dislocation with associated proximal phalangeal base fracture, capsular disruption, and collateral ligament injury (7,10) . The number of anatomic structures involved in a traumatic dislocation requires careful assessment of all the thumb soft tissue anatomy including attention to the volar plate, as it frequently requires an additional volar incision during surgical repair (9) .…”

An intricate and unique combination of ligamentous, fibrocartilaginous, and osseous structures stabilize the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint. Both ultrasound and high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging are extremely useful in evaluating these critical structures. This article reviews common injuries of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint, while highlighting the merits, limitations, and pitfalls of the two imag- ing modalities. A clear appreciation of each method, paired with anatomic knowledge, will lend greater confidence and accuracy to diagnosing impactful injuries and guiding intervention.
