Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction.
Since the first description of an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear at the elbow 60 years ago and the first description of surgical reconstruction 20 years ago, many advances have been made in management and surgery. UCL tears at the elbow remain a disease of the overhead athlete. Various imaging studies have been used in the diagnosis of UCL tears at the elbow; however, the physical examina...
متن کاملUlnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
CONTEXT Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries lead to pain and loss of performance in the thrower's elbow. Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) is a reliable treatment option for the symptomatic, deficient UCL. Injury to the UCL usually occurs because of chronic accumulation of microtrauma, although acute ruptures occur and an acute-on-chronic presentation is also common. EVIDEN...
متن کاملNon-anatomical reconstruction of lateral ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow after tumor resection
We present the case of an 80-year-old man with a tumor recurrence on his right arm 6 years after initial treatment. The lateral aspect of the elbow joint, involving overlaying skin, muscles, tendons, joint capsule, lateral collateral ligament complex, the lateral 1/3 of the capitellum, and lateral epicondyle of humerus were excised in the tumor resection. Intraoperative assessment revealed mult...
متن کاملUlnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Revisited
CONTEXT Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) insufficiency of the elbow can be a debilitating injury that often prevents athletes from competing effectively. The overhead athlete is particularly susceptible to this injury because the anterior bundle of the UCL is the primary restraint to the valgus stress that is created during the throwing motion. Repetitive trauma from constant overhead or throwin...
متن کاملBiomechanical Evaluation of Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Techniques
Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is caused by injury to the lateral collateral ligament complex, usually from elbow dislocation; fracture dislocation, iatrogenic injury, or varus malalignment of the elbow. This is characterized by the external rotation of the radius and ulna in reference to the distal humerus. Further, it is manifested as posterior subluxation of the radial head in re...
