Video Summary
Josh Szabo discusses lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) repair and reconstruction for elbow instability, emphasizing that simple elbow dislocations are complex and require thorough evaluation. He reviews anatomy, presentation, diagnosis challenges—including imaging limitations—and the importance of distinguishing ligament injuries from conditions like epicondylitis. Szabo describes clinical and arthroscopic exams, highlighting key tests and surgical techniques for repair, stressing proper anchor placement and isometric points to restore stability. He advocates for combining arthroscopy and open approaches for optimal outcomes. Postoperative rehab involves immobilization, mobilization, and strengthening. Results are generally positive, improving on historical outcomes through comprehensive treatment.
