RESUMO
Morel-Lavallee lesions are uncommon injuries and there is a lack of data to support what the most effective management is. In the case of a young athlete with a small lesion, we propose that conservative treatment with rest and close follow up is appropriate.
RESUMO
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries commonly occur in overhead athletes as a result of excess valgus stress on the elbow and can be functionally debilitating, requiring surgical intervention. Since the advent of the first initial UCL reconstruction technique pioneered by Dr. Frank Jobe performed on professional baseball player Tommy John, UCL, or Tommy John Ligament reconstruction has successfully returned athletes to sport following injury and shown enhanced clinical outcomes with minimal complication rates. Tommy John surgery continues to evolve with the development of various techniques over recent years. This technical note describes a UCL repair with an internal brace using knotless suture anchors and aims to contribute to the current literature a technique that is efficacious and reproducible and offers satisfactory stability, functionality, and return to play.
