Abstract
The authors report on their experience on 20 old lesions of the ulnar collateral ligament of the MP joint of the thumb. They used a modified technique according to Strandell.--Follow up investigations were made in an average range of 17.5 months after the operation. All the colateral ligaments were stable. The procedure is not to be used for heavy manual working persons. If there is an osteoarthritis in the MP joint, arthrodesis is the alternative method.Entities:
