Abstract
Reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), with the use of palmaris longus, plantaris, or toe extensor autograft and with transposition and stabilization of the ulnar nerve when indicated and appropriate rehabilitation, is effective in correcting medial instability of the elbow and allows most athletes to return to previous levels of play in less than 1 year. Even if repair is possible, augmentation with an autograft is recommended.
