What this paper is
This article describes a surgical technique and a proposed rehabilitation program for overhead athletes after ulnar collateral ligament hybrid reconstruction. It reports no patient group, outcomes, comparison, or follow-up data, so there is no finding here to change practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the statement that over 400 cases have been done as proof the technique or rehabilitation program works. No patient outcomes are reported.
