Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Adolescents: A Systematic Review

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2020
Background: Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction is an established surgical technique to restore UCL deficiency, especially in the overhead throwing athlete. Over the past decade, the number of patients requiring UCL reconstruction has increased significantly, particularly in the adolescent patient population.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Reconstruction Technique

2019
Injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the medial elbow can be devastating to an overhead-throwing athlete. This can lead to pain and decreased velocity when attempting to throw with ultimate failure to throw/pitch and compete. Athletes who weight bear through the elbow (gymnast, competitive cheer, etc.) have also been found to be symptomatic

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: Docking Technique

2015
Prior to Jobe’s description of a reconstruction technique for ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) insufficiency, the injury was career ending. Despite successful results in about 70 % of cases, concerns with elevation of the flexor-pronator mass, ulnar nerve complications and relatively large bone tunnels in the medial epicondyle of the humerus led to ...

A Systematic Review of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Techniques

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2013
Background: Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction of the elbow has become increasingly more frequent among elite overhead athletes. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review comparing the clinical outcomes and biomechanical results of the Jobe, modified Jobe, docking, modified docking, Endobutton, and interference screw ...

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: Alternative Surgical Techniques

2015
Injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is often seen in the throwing athlete. Reconstruction of the UCL has evolved since the introduction of the figure-of-eight technique by Dr. Frank Jobe. Regarding the surgical approach and the graft fixation method, progress has been made to improve the biomechanical properties of the reconstruction and more

Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Tears: Reconstruction.

Instructional course lectures
The medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) complex is integral for valgus elbow stability, especially in individuals engaged in repetitive overhead activities such as throwing. MUCL injuries often necessitate surgical intervention to restore elbow stability.

The Docking Technique for Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

The Journal of Hand Surgery
Medial ulnar collateral ligament injury is common in the elbow following repetitive use in overhead athletes and acute trauma such as a fall on to an outstretched hand. This leads to valgus elbow instability confirmed with provocative testing. In patients with functional limitation and radiographic evidence of a midsubstance or diffuse ulnar collateral
