Anatomy of the anterior bundle of the ulnar collateral ligament
Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2007The 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 ...
