Elbow medial collateral ligament injuries
Elbow medial collateral ligament sprain occurs when the elbow is subjected to a valgus force exceeding the tensile properties of the medial collateral ligament (MCL). This is an injury seen more often in throwing athletes. Understanding the differential diagnosis of medial elbow pain is paramount to diagnose MCL injury as well as addressing other medial elbow pathology. A natural evolution rega...
متن کاملTreatment of medial collateral ligament injuries.
The medial collateral ligament is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. The anatomy and biomechanical role of this ligament and the associated posteromedial structures of the knee continue to be explored. Prophylactic knee bracing has shown promise in preventing injury to the medial collateral ligament, although perhaps at the cost of functional performance. Most isolated injuries a...

متن کاملTrends in Sports-Related Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries
BACKGROUND Elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries are common, particularly in adolescent athletes playing overhead sports. While the incidence and outcomes of surgical UCL injuries are well documented, the nonsurgical UCL injury patterns and injury management in this population are not yet known. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to retrospectively assess the injury sev...
متن کاملPosterior horn medial meniscal root repair with cruciate ligament/medial collateral ligament combined injuries.
Many meniscal root tears remain unrepaired, potentially due to under-recognition and the technical challenge of repairing them. A great effort is made to preserve the native meniscus and restore the circumferential fibers for hoop stress resistance. It has been well demonstrated in the literature that failure to repair this will lead to increased contact pressures in the medial compartment and ...
