Abstrakt: 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 imaging modalities. A clear appreciation of each method, paired with anatomic knowledge, will lend greater confidence and accuracy to diagnosing impactful injuries and guiding intervention.
