Ligament Reconstruction
Elbow ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed to repair or replace a damaged ligament in the elbow, most commonly the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL). This type of injury is often seen in athletes, especially those involved in throwing activities, leading to pain, instability, and reduced arm strength.
The procedure involves using a tendon graft to reconstruct the damaged ligament, restoring stability and function to the elbow joint. With advanced surgical techniques and proper rehabilitation, patients can regain strength, improve performance, and return to their normal activities.
