Evaluation and Surgical Decision-Making in Elbow Instability (ICL 13)

Elbow instability is usually the result of an acute major or minor traumatic event, resulting in injury to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) or lateral ulnar collateral ligamentous complex (LUCL). This manuscript will focus on the specific salient features of the evaluation and surgical decision-making for injuries to the elbow resulting in medial and lateral (posterolateral) instability.
