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

May 11, 2023

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
