Arthroscopic Reduction and Internal Fixation for Bony Gamekeeper’s Thumb

Article  in  Orthopedics · September 2006

Conclusion:

Gamekeeper’s thumbs with a bony fragment are better managed with an arthroscopic reduction. The advantages of arthroscopic versus open techniques are similar to those experienced in larger joints, and we there-fore recommend this technique for the treatment of displaced bony gamekeeper’s lesions that require reduction.
