Internal Impingement Shoulder Injuries Overview
Internal impingement is a specific type of shoulder injury that is seen primarily in throwing athletes.
Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury Symptoms and Treatment
A gamekeeper's thumb, also called a skier's thumb, is an injury to one of the important ligaments at the base of the thumb joint.

This ligament prevents the thumb from pointing too far away from the hand.
