Direct Comparison of Modified Jobe and Docking Reconstructions With Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair With Suture Augmentation at Midterm Follow-up
No differences in outcomes scores or return-to-play rates were found when the modified Jobe and docking UCL reconstruction techniques were compared with the UCL repair + SA technique at >5-year mean follow-up; however, the SA group returned to sport 4 months earlier on average. Given the similar outcomes among groups, all 3 techniques are viable treatment options for UCL injuries.
