The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is a ligament that runs on the inner side of the elbow to help support it when performing certain motions, such as throwing.
The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) or internal lateral ligament is a thick triangular ligament at the medial aspect of the elbow uniting the distal aspect of the humerus to the proximal aspect of the ulna.
UCL injuries result from both acute and chronic injuries. An acute UCL injury occurs when excess stress placed on the elbow at one time, causing it to tear. Typically, you can hear a popping sound when experiencing an acute UCL injury.
A ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) sprain is a tear to one of the ligaments on the inner side of your elbow. A UCL sprain usually occurs due to a throwing motion – that typically occurs during sports – or after elbow dislocation or surgery.
An ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear is an injury to one of the ligaments on the inner side of your elbow. This ligament connects the inside of your upper arm (humerus) to the inside of your forearm (ulna) and helps support and stabilize your arm. The UCL is rarely stressed in daily activities.
MCL Injuries of the Elbow (It should not be confused with the MCL of the knee.) Sometimes also referred to as the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), the MCL of the elbow attaches the ulna (which, along with the radius, makes up the bones of the lower arm) to the humerus, the bone of the upper arm.
Tommy John Surgery, more formally known as ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, is used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow. A UCL is a ligament on the inner side of your elbow that helps secure your elbow joint.
The medial (ulnar) collateral ligament (MCL) supports the ulnohumeral and radiohumeral joints medially, and is a fan-shaped structure. The lateral (radial) collateral ligament (LCL) also supports the ulnohumeral and radiohumeral joints, but laterally. It is more of a cord-like structure.
Pain on the inner side of the elbow is the most common symptom of a UCL injury. A UCL tear may sometimes feel like a “pop” after throwing followed by intense pain. UCL injuries are diagnosed by physical examination and a valgus stress test to assess instability of the elbow.
Overuse, wear and tear injuries Most cases of UCL damage are from overuse. Repetitive motion, like overhand throwing, stresses the ligament.
UCL Tear SymptomsInner elbow pain and stiffness.Difficulty throwing.Tingling/numbness in the ring and pinky finger.Hearing or feeling a pop in the elbow.
Treatment for UCL tears ranges from rest and physical therapy to surgery, depending on the severity of the injury and your health goals....Nonsurgical TreatmentRest and ice.Anti-inflammatory medications.Physical therapy to strengthen the elbow muscles and improve the range of motion.

A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( S50-S59) and the excluded code together.
