It happens when the thumb gets bent backwards like when a punted ball hits the hand wrong. It almost always requires surgery to pin and stabilize. If this is his injury he will be out at least 8 weeks. 6 weeks for the fracture to heal and then at least several weeks for hand rehab.
Is a Bennett’s fracture more common than a gamekeeper’s thumb in NFL players?
