OTIF: Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Enhancements

Kevin Farmer, MD (Gainesville, FL), highlights the evolving techniques for the treatment of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries, including UCL repair and UCL reconstruction with the InternalBrace™ ligament augmentation technique. Through case examples, he highlights the benefits and impact these techniques have on high-level athletes.

The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
