Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna01:15

Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna

The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side of the...

Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears affect overhead athletes. While imaging aids diagnosis, physical exams and patient history remain crucial for managing elbow UCL injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Elbow Injuries

Background:

  • Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears at the elbow have been recognized for 60 years.
  • Surgical reconstruction techniques for UCL tears were first described 20 years ago.
  • Advances in management and surgical approaches have evolved significantly over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical progression of understanding and treating elbow UCL tears.
  • To discuss the current diagnostic and management strategies for UCL injuries in athletes.
  • To provide insights into the established and evolving treatment paradigms for UCL tears.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on the history of UCL tear management.
  • Discussion of diagnostic modalities, emphasizing clinical examination and patient history.

Surgical Retrieval, Isolation and In vitro Expansion of Human Anterior Cruciate Ligament-derived Cells for Tissue Engineering Applications

Published on: April 30, 2014

  • Overview of current surgical and non-surgical treatment approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • Elbow UCL tears predominantly affect overhead athletes.
    • Clinical assessment, including physical examination and history, is paramount for diagnosis.
    • Despite advancements, effective management remains centered on understanding the injury's biomechanics and patient-specific factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Elbow UCL tears require a comprehensive approach integrating historical knowledge with modern techniques.
    • The physical examination and patient history are indispensable diagnostic tools.
    • Continued evolution in management strategies aims to optimize outcomes for overhead athletes with UCL injuries.
