Biomechanical comparison of graft fixation at 30° and 90° of elbow flexion for ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction by the docking technique

Background Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries have been successfully treated by the docking reconstruction. Although fixation of the graft has been suggested at 30° of elbow flexion, no quantitative biomechanical data exist to provide guidelines for the optimal elbow flexion angle for graft fi...
