| Popis: | Injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) most commonly occurs in overhead throwing athletes, particularly baseball pitchers, but is also seen in other specific subsets of athletes. Prior to the first UCL reconstruction performed by Jobe in 1974, the UCL rupture was a catastrophic event in professional baseball pitchers. Improvements in diagnosis, surgical technique, and rehabilitation programs have significantly improved outcomes for athletes. |
