A hyperextended thumb occurs when the thumb is bent backwards beyond its normal range of motion. This can result in stretching or tearing of the ligaments supporting the thumb joint, causing pain, swelling, and instability in the thumb. Treatment may involve rest, ice, splinting, and physical therapy.
