Abstract

The article discusses a study which evaluated medial elbow instability in a cadaveric model using stress ultrasound (SUS). Results show a mean increase in ulnohumeral valgus joint gapping of 3.4 millimeters (mm) caused by the release of the entire anterior bundle. It concluded that different amounts of gapping are observed on SUS with sectioning of the medial elbow stabilizers.

Abstract

The article presents a study which examined the use of stress sonography of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of the elbow in professional baseball pitchers. It claims that stress ultrasound (US) of the elbow enables the testing of both the UCL and the ulnohumeral joint space at rest and with stress. Among the factors that were examined in the study are ligament thickness, ulnohumeral joint space width and ligament abnormalities.
