Functional outcomes following lateral ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction for symptomatic posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow in an athletic population

Although the diagnosis and surgical management of isolated LUCL injury are relatively infrequent, LUCL reconstruction for posterolateral rotatory instability offers a reliable return to preinjury level of function among active individuals with intense upper extremity demands. However, although function reliably improves, the rate of perioperative complications is greater than 15%.
