[L'entorse de l'articulation métacarpo-phalangienne du pouce est l'un] des traumatismes les plus fréquents chez les skieurs. Les bâtons et les prises ont été souvent incriminés comme cause de la lésion, mais il n'y a aucune évidence à ce jour permettant d'affirmer que la modification des dragonnes des bâtons ou le port de gants spéciaux diminueraient la fréquence de la lésion ligamentaire. 6, record 1, French, - pouce%20du%20skieur
