Reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament using a free tendon graft was performed on sixteen athletes. All participated in sports that involved throwing (mostly professional baseball), and all had valgus instability of the elbow. After reconstruction and rehabilitation, ten of the sixteen patients returned to their previous level of participation in sports, one returned to a lower level of participation, and five retired from professional athletics. Despite precautions, there was a high incidence of complications related to the ulnar nerve. Two patients had postoperative ulnar neuropathy (one late and one early) that required a secondary operation, but they eventually recovered completely. Three others reported some transient postoperative hypoesthesia along the ulnar aspect of the forearm that resolved after a few weeks or months.
对16名运动员进行了使用游离肌腱移植重建尺侧副韧带的手术。所有患者都参与涉及投掷的运动（大多数是职业棒球运动），并且都存在肘部外翻不稳定的情况。重建和康复后，16名患者中有10名恢复到之前的运动参与水平，1名恢复到较低的运动参与水平，5名从职业体育界退役。尽管采取了预防措施，但与尺神经相关的并发症发生率仍然很高。两名患者术后出现尺神经病变（1例为晚期，1例为早期），需要二次手术，但最终完全康复。另外三名患者报告术后在前臂尺侧出现一些短暂的感觉减退，几周或几个月后症状消失。
