PDF Document · PDF
| Section | Changes Made | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | Added incidence (5.2/100,000/yr), O'Driscoll's injury mechanism (LCL→capsule→MCL sequence) | Rockwood & Green's, 10th ed., 2025 |
| Anatomy | MCL anterior band = primary valgus restraint; LUCL = posterolateral rotatory stability | Miller's Review, 9th ed. |
| Classification | Defined as simple posterior type; no fracture; soft-tissue calcification noted | Rockwood & Green's, Ch. 40 |
| Surgical technique | Named Bryan-Morrey posterior approach; UCL = "Tommy John" repair; Bell-Tawse = annular ligament reconstruction; ulnar nerve protection explicitly stated | Miller's Review, 9th ed. |
| Rehabilitation | Structured per Rockwood & Green's protocol: 48-hr mobilisation, no immobilisation >2 weeks, pronated forearm for LCL protection, passive stretching at 6 weeks, strengthening at 3 months | Rockwood & Green's, 2025 |
