Abstract
Rehabilitation with the arm overhead improves elbow stability after LCL injury. Initiating earlier range of motion in this “safe position” might decrease elbow stiffness and allow optimal ligament healing. If exercises are done in the dependent position, active motion with forearm pronation should be encouraged. Varus arm positioning should be avoided.
