Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker discusses the process of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction in 2022. They mention traditional docking techniques, single point fixation, and hybrid reconstructions as options for the procedure. The speaker also discusses graft choices, including palmaris, gracilis, and allograft options. They emphasize the importance of careful dissection around the palmaris graft to avoid damaging the nerve. The speaker explains the surgical approach for the reconstruction, including splitting rather than transposing muscles and finding the appropriate insertion points on the ulnar and humeral sides. They also mention post-operative care and the long-term outcomes of UCL reconstruction. The speaker concludes by mentioning the growing interest in hybrid reconstruction techniques, although there is limited clinical data on their effectiveness.
