Implication

Analysis of revision MUCL reconstruction outcomes in 191 pitchers indicates low rates of return to sport. This highlights the implications for surgical counseling and player recovery expectations.

Key Points

Overall, only 59% of pitchers returned to the same level of play after revision MUCL reconstruction, averaging 604 days.
The study identified 191 pitchers with an average age of 26, showing an increasing trend in revision surgeries over time.
Surgical variables like graft choice and technique were recorded, revealing hamstring tendon autograft as the most common.
Counseling on the low return to same level rate and prolonged recovery time is essential for pitchers undergoing surgery.
