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

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Evaluation and Diagnostics

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2020
The overhead throwing motion subjects the elbow to a predictable pattern of forces, including medial tension, lateral compression, and posterior shear, that in turn result in a predictable pattern of injuries. Careful history taking, thorough physical examination, and judicious diagnostic imaging allow clinicians to correctly diagnose ulnar collateral ...

Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries: Indications, Management, and Outcomes.

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopy And Related, 2020
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries continue to be a major source of morbidity in baseball players. The throwing motion creates nearly supraphysiological levels of valgus stress on the medial elbow, placing these athletes at high risk of UCL injury.

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 ...

Valgus stress ultrasound for medial ulnar collateral ligament injuries in athletes: is ultrasound alone enough for diagnosis?

Journal of shoulder and elbow surgery, 2020
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that valgus stress ultrasound would be useful for both identifying medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) tears and assessing the severity of the tears.

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 ...

Indications, Outcomes, and Complications of Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of the Elbow for Chronic Posterolateral Rotatory Instability: A Systematic Review

American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020
Background: Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow can lead to pain, recurrent dislocations, and, in the worst-case scenario, disability.

Percutaneous lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2012
AbstractPurposeOpen surgical reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament is the standard treatment for symptomatic posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow. It involves dissection and retraction of the lateral elbow muscles, which have been shown to be secondary stabilizers of the lateral elbow.

Diagnostic Imaging of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury: A Systematic Review

American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020
Background: Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries can be debilitating in overhead athletes. Accurate diagnosis is important; however, several imaging modalities are available for the assessment of UCL injuries.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament of the Elbow

Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2005
Recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of the overhead athlete's elbow has led the medical community to understand that the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the elbow is more commonly injured than originally thought. Injury can result in secondary symptoms and problems in other regions of the elbow.
