2024年10月2日 · An ulnar collateral ligament injury is any strain or tear of the connective tissue on the pinky finger side of your elbow. These injuries can affect the way you're able to move your arm.

The ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow is most often injured by repeated stress from overhead movement. This motion is common in sports that involve throwing, such as baseball and javelin. What You Need to Know

The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) or internal lateral ligament is a thick triangular ligament at the medial aspect of the elbow uniting the distal aspect of the humerus to the proximal aspect of the ulna.

2025年2月20日 · Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries are characterized by attenuation or rupture of the ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow leading to valgus instability in overhead throwing athletes. Diagnosis is usually made by a combination of physical exam and MRI studies.

2022年4月10日 · An ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injury is an inner elbow injury. It’s most commonly an overuse injury and most famously known for being a baseball pitcher’s injury. If you have a UCL injury you will feel pain and tenderness at your elbow.

2024年1月12日 · Thumb Collateral Ligament Injuries, most commonly ulnar collateral (UCL), are athletic injuries that lead to a decrease in effective thumb pinch and grasp. Diagnosis relies upon thumb MCP radial-ulnar stress exam and MRI studies.

In this installment of the Injury Management Series, we’ll give you the lowdown on UCL injuries, what to expect and the best treatment options to consider. Let’s Start with a Quick Refresher: What is the UCL?

The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) acts as the primary static restraint to the resultant valgus force upon the elbow, and the estimated force upon the ligament with pitching approaches the known limit of the ligament’s tensile strength.

Tommy John surgery, also known as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, is a procedure to fix an unstable or torn UCL. Your UCL is a strong band of tissue on the inside of your elbow (the joint where your arm bones meet). In Tommy John surgery, your surgeon reinforces your joint with a healthy tendon from somewhere else in your body.

2020年4月13日 · The ulnar collateral ligament is a band of tissue that connects the inside of your upper arm (humerus) to the inside of your forearm (ulna). This ligament helps to support and stabilize your arm when you perform a motion, such as throwing a ball.
