The condition is caused by excessive abduction and hyperextension of the first carpometacarpal joint, also known as the trapeziometacarpal joint (TMC). Symptoms of skier’s thumb are instability of the MCP joint of the thumb, accompanied by pain and weakness of the pincer grasp that allows holding a small objects between the distal pads of the opposed thumb and index or middle finger.
