Abstract:
There is substantial interest in the medial ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow. This is due to the growth of throwing-associated injuries in the past 30 years. This is, in part, due to the length of time to rehabilitate this type of injury in this athlete population. It is vital to understand how to appropriately diagnose and manage medial ulnar collateral ligament injuries in throwing athletes based on the injury severity. This manuscript will review the anatomy of the elbow, risk factors for medial ulnar collateral ligament injuries, management approaches, and future directions for prevention and treatment.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
