Abstract

Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair with suture augmentation has been increasingly used to treat UCL pathology in overhead athletes. For the appropriately indicated patient, UCL repair with suture augmentation without reconstruction has promising results. Advantages of repair with suture augmentation include earlier return to sport, low complication rate, and decreased operative time since there is no need for graft harvest. Previously reported techniques use suture anchors with high-tensile and collagen-coated nonabsorbable sutures. This article provides an alternative augmentation method using a combination of anchors and bone tunnels to obtain an isometric repair.
