The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) does not play a large role in elbow stability for most activities of daily living, but it does undergo tremendous stresses with overhead throwing and is susceptible to injury in overhead athletes. With the UCL repair, the surgeon will repair your native ligament and re-attach it to it's respective insertion site. The new procedure involves repairing the damaged ligament and reinforcing it with a collagen-coated fiber tape in contrast with the traditional UCL reconstruction that involves drilling tunnels in the bone and using a graft from a tendon in your arm or leg. Edema control is initiated with a light compression dressing. hb```-B ce`a}`QJ se fpXF5#m-2q#M=T.Q,A%@ -& B@P xIq;8W2K0e7oS^s&3w&iO'i`4a` Thumb Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair Post-Operative Protocol Days 0- until first Post-Op Apt. x\ms6|:6B]3~H-ST]HJHcG@>`w,@~9}}&w]|!\=|'t{_?|qcy5ca|O8%Y,npm&7& sMA-#IG71ub~ZE\@>l3c2fW?$->+zz\{M;)kO1yTS^ ^uoS7I? % endobj ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT OF THE ELBOW RECONSTRUCTION USING AUTOGENOUS GRAFT PROTOCOL 3 Progress shoulder isometrics to isotonics, emphasize rotator cuff strengthening (Avoid resisted external rotation until 6th week to minimize forces on repaired UCL) Week 6 Brace - hinged elbow brace set 0-130 degrees.
