Discussion

Descriptive epidemiological study reveals a rising trend in MUCL repair among patients, suggesting broader acceptance.

The rate of MUCL repairs increased by 133% compared to 48% growth in reconstructions from 2017 to 2021.
Data from 745 surgeries showed that patients aged 16 or younger received MUCL repairs significantly more than college-aged peers.
