Percutaneous lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2012AbstractPurposeOpen 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.

Complications of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
2021Ulnar collateral ligament rupture can produce significant valgus elbow instability and substantial dysfunction in overhead athletes including baseball pitchers, javelin throwers, and quarterbacks, among others. Surgical reconstruction of this ligament has led to encouraging postoperative results including return to full athletic participation at elite ...

MRI of the Reconstructed Ulnar Collateral Ligament
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2011We 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 ...

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2021
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair with single-strand suture augmentation has been introduced as a viable surgical option for throwers with acute UCL tears. For the original single-strand suture augmentation construct, revision UCL reconstructions can be challenging owing to the bone loss at the site of anchor insertion in the center of the sublime

Return to Play Following Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2016Ulnar collateral ligament injury in the overhead athlete typically presents as activity-related pain with loss of velocity and control. Treatment options range from nonoperative rehabilitation to ligament reconstruction. Surgical reconstruction is frequently required to allow the athlete to return to competition and many surgical techniques have been ...

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Posttraumatic Elbow Release
Orthopedics, 2012The purpose of this retrospective cohort comparison study was to determine the effect of ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction on postoperative range of motion (ROM) in patients undergoing posttraumatic elbow contracture release. Twenty-four consecutive patients underwent elbow arthrolysis.

Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Elite Throwing Athletes
Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic & Related Surgery, 2006Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries may result in disabling valgus instability in throwing athletes. We evaluated the docking technique for UCL reconstruction and describe a modification to the technique.UCL surgery was indicated in 20 high-level baseball players (13 professional and 7 collegiate) based on medial elbow pain preventing effective ...

Rehabilitation Following Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction of Athletes
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1991All authors of this article are affiliated with the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, 501 E. Hardy Street, Suite 200, Inglewood. CA 90301, (213) 674-5200. Athletes involved in throwing activities often subject their elbows to repeated valgus forces. The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) may become torn and reconstructive surgery may be required.

Restoring Isometry in Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2015To ascertain whether placing the humeral attachment of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) at the humeral center of rotation (hCOR) on the humerus would provide the most isometric reconstruction.We analyzed 13 cadaver limbs from mid-humerus to the hand. The morphology of the ligament complex was assessed.

Biomechanical Comparison of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Techniques
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2008Background Incompetence of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the elbow is career-threatening for high-performance throwing athletes. Although multiple reconstructions have been described, a procedure that combines a larger graft with improved fixation may demonstrate more favorable loading characteristics than current techniques.
