Repair and reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament.
Lateral ulnar collateral ligament repair and reconstruction are techniques used to treat posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow. The choice to perform repair versus reconstruction is typically dependent on the chronicity of the injury and the quality of tissue available at the time of surgery.
