Biomechanical Stability of Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction and Repair of the Elbow: The Role of Ligament Bracing on Gap Formation and Stabilization 03/23
Abstract: Background:Augmented (internal braced) lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) repair has been biomechanically compared with reconstruction techniques in the elbow. However, LUCL repair alone has not yet been compared with augmented repair and reconstruction techniques.Hypothesis:Internal bracing of LUCL repair would improve time-zero stabilization regarding gap formation…… Read article online here

Abstract: Purpose: Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow occurs from an insufficient lateral collateral ligament complex (LCLC). For subacute LCLC injuries, lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) internal bracing rather than reconstruction may be a viable option. The purpose of the study was to compare the stabilizing effects of LUCL internal bracing to triceps tendon…
