The use of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair with concomitant internal bracing for throwing athletes is a viable treatment option, but must take into account tear location, ligament quality, the expected length of the athlete's career, desire to advance to the next level of competition, and age. There has been increased interest in repair of UCL injuries in overhead athletes due to advancements in surgical technique, as well as improved technologies of anchor and suture material. In addition, return to sport can be accelerated compared to reconstruction. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate an ulnar collateral ligament repair technique, with internal bracing augmentation for high-grade partial proximal tears in the throwing athlete that is reliable, strong, and easily reproducible.
