Abstract

CONTEXT: The ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow (UCL) is frequently injured in throwing athletes, most commonly baseball pitchers. The ligament is reconstructed through bone tunnels using palmaris longus or gracilis autograft.

RESULTS: This study highlights the following technique for UCL reconstruction in over 2000 athletes.(2)

CONCLUSION: When conservative management fails, ligament reconstruction can allow the athlete to return to their sport.(1).
