Background: Chronic pain significantly worsens the quality of life. Unlike neuropathic, musculoskeletal, postoperative pain, and cancer pain, chronic primary pain cannot be explained by an underlying disease or condition, making its treatment arduous.
Objectives: This manuscript intends to provide a comprehensive review of the use of ketamine as a treatment option for specific chronic pain conditions.
Background: The most commonly used techniques for elbow ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) are the docking and modified Jobe figure-of-8 techniques. Previous literature has suggested that UCLR with the docking technique is associated with fewer complications; however, these studies included results from the original classic Jobe technique without controlling for the effects of flexor pronator mass (FPM) detachment and routine submuscular ulnar nerve transposition (UNT).
Purpose/hypothesis: This study sought to compare the rates of complications and subsequent unplanned surgical procedures between the docking and figure-of-8 techniques.
