Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how early-career orthopedic surgeons performed medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) repairs versus reconstructions from 2010 to 2020, focusing on training backgrounds and complication rates.
- Data showed that out of 187 procedures for isolated MUCL injuries, most were reconstructions (83%), but the percentage of repairs increased notably over the years, from 10% in 2010 to 38% in 2020.
- Complication rates for reconstructions (11.6%) were significantly lower than for repairs (25%), although this difference was particularly noted only in the Hand Surgery fellowship group.
