Description
Valeria Vismara and colleagues describe a minimally invasive reconstruction of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament, the elbow's key restraint against posterolateral rotatory instability, in a 2026 technical note. This approach works through small incisions and lays the graft on the bone surface instead.
With the patient face-up and the arm on a hand table under X-ray control, two short incisions expose the lateral humeral column and the ligament's ulnar footprint. The joint capsule stays closed and the common extensor origin stays attached. A tendon graft is fixed with knotless suture anchors in an onlay fashion, hugging the bone along the ligament's natural path. They present the technique as a way to keep reconstruction's durability while trimming the collateral damage of getting there.
