Abstract
Closed injuries affecting the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints and their stabilizers in the thumb and fingers occur very commonly in athletes, possibly leading to finger joint instability and long-standing or permanent disability. This article reviews the spectrum of joint injuries of the thumb and fingers that are common in the athletic population with a main focus on the ultrasound features of collateral ligament tears, palmar plate injuries, and thumb sesamoid fractures. A thorough understanding of the complex anatomy, mechanism of injury, soft tissue abnormalities, and imaging findings is critical in the diagnostic work-up of closed finger joint trauma and may help improve outcomes.
