Retrospective Clinical Outcomes of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in the Setting of an Ossified Ulnar Collateral Ligament [PDF]

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine
Background: The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of the elbow joint during overhead throwing activities. Stress to the UCL may lead to high-grade or full-thickness tears that require reconstruction or repair

Suture-Augmented Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament and Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction for Subacute and Chronic Posterolateral Rotatory Instability [PDF]

Arthroscopy Techniques
Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow results from injury to the lateral collateral ligament complex, most often involving the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL).

Use of Abductor Pollicis Brevis Tendon for Reconstruction of Chronic Thumb Metacarpophalangeal Joint Radial Collateral Ligament Injuries: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports
Radial collateral ligament (RCL) injuries of the thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint are relatively rare compared to ulnar collateral ligament lesions. These injuries typically occur due to forced and sudden adduction of the thumb and can significantly

Ulnar collateral ligament dysfunction increases stress on the humeral capitellum: a finite element analysis

JSES International, 2021
Background: Repetitive mechanical stress on the elbow joint during throwing is a cause of ulnar collateral ligament dysfunction that may increase the compressive force on the humeral capitellum. This study aimed to examine the effects of ulnar collateral
