Background: Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, distal biceps tendon repair, and elbow arthroscopic surgery are common elbow procedures performed in active patients.

Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2.

Methods: A total of 76 patients undergoing UCL repair/reconstruction, distal biceps tendon repair, …
