Implication

Case series shows high patient satisfaction and return to play rates after ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction and repair in nonthrowing athletes, indicating effective surgical management.

Key Points

68.4% of nonthrowing athletes successfully returned to play following UCL surgery, demonstrating a significant recovery outcome.
The retrospective case series assessed 19 patients, revealing complications present in a small number of cases after ulnar collateral ligament procedures.
Patients reported high satisfaction rates, with 76.9% returning to the same or higher competition level post-surgery.
Overall outcomes indicate that surgical management for UCL injuries can be effective even in nonthrowing populations, warranting further exploration.
