MRI of the Reconstructed Ulnar Collateral Ligament

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2011
We are often asked to evaluate the postoperative elbow using MRI. In this article, we present both the normal appearance of the reconstructed ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and a spectrum of UCL graft abnormalities at MR arthrography.The UCL is the primary medial stabilizer of the elbow during flexion and is susceptible to injury, particularly in ...

Thumb Ulnar Collateral and Radial Collateral Ligament Injuries

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2015
Thumb metacarpophalangeal ulnar and radial collateral ligament injuries occur frequently in the competitive athlete. Collateral ligament integrity is essential to joint stability, pinch strength, and pain-free motion. Acute rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament is due to a sudden radial deviation force on the abducted thumb and is referred to as ...

The ulnar collateral ligament is the primary static constraints of the elbow to valgus stress. Injuries to this ligament may lead to significant functional impairment and potential secondary intra-articular damage to the elbow. A diverse group of patients can present with symptoms related to ulnar collateral ligament insufficiency, ranging from ...

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries

2002
Reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament has proved to be a successful method of restoring the valgus stability to the elbow of the overhead-throwing athlete with ligament incompetence or rupture. Although many athletes can rehabilitate and return to sports without reconstruction of an incompetent UCL, overhead-throwing athletes, such as ...

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair.

Instructional course lectures
Ulnar collateral ligament injury of the elbow is a problem most associated with baseball pitchers but can be a challenging pathology for any overhead throwing athlete. The prevalence of these injuries has been steadily increasing over the past several decades, as has the need for surgical management. Surgical reconstruction has long been considered the

Anatomy of the anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2007
The purpose of this project was to study the anatomy of the anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament and provide anatomic measurements not previously described. Thirteen fresh-frozen cadaver elbows were dissected. A 3-dimensional, electromagnetic, digitizing device was used to measure several anatomic parameters of the anterior bundle of the ...

Ultrasound Imaging of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2016
The patient was an 18-year-old collegiate baseball pitcher who injured his right throwing elbow during an overhead slider pitch. As a part of a study, preinjury ultrasound images of the throwing arm were obtained 2 weeks prior to the injury. One day postinjury, repeat ultrasound imaging of the medial elbow was performed.
