Key Points

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between carrying angle and the severity of ulnar nerve instability in baseball pitchers.
Conducted a cross-sectional study with 106 high school baseball pitchers.
Utilized ultrasound examinations to assess ulnar nerve instability and elbow joint integrity.
Classified participants into three groups based on UNI severity: no instability, subluxation, and dislocation.
The distribution of ulnar nerve instability types was similar on both throwing and non-throwing sides.
No significant differences were found in carrying angle among the different UNI groups.
No correlation was observed between carrying angle and ulnar collateral ligament laxity or other clinical findings.
