In principle, any band can tear or exhibit chronic instability. Due to the complex anatomy, this question cannot be answered conclusively. Since certain ligaments have a pronounced exposure to accidents and stress, there are typical ligament problems in the hand. In the skiers thumb, the ligament of the thumb on the ulnar side is torn due to a certain injury. Severe pain and subsequent instability occur. Ligament injuries to finger joints are common in contact sports such as handball, basketball and boxing. Injuries with high energy impact (traffic accidents, falls from great heights) also lead to typical lesions (SL: Scapholunar ligament).
