Injury chronicity does not affect outcomes following ligament repair with suture tape augmentation for post-traumatic elbow instability (12/25)
Abstract/Hypothesis – Repair and augmentation techniques have been successfully applied in the treatment of acute ligament injuries causing elbow instability. This study evaluates whether the chronicity of elbow instability affects postoperative outcomes following ligament repair with augmentation using suture tape internal bracing. Read Paper Online

Abstract: Injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint is commonly encountered in clinical practice, particularly among athletes. Although repair using suture anchors is currently the gold standard, recent evidence suggests suture tape augmentation offers superior initial construct strength, allowing for earlier mobilization. This technical note describes a reproducible technique for thumb…
