- Abstract
The article reports a study which was conducted to examine multiple tunnel parameters in medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) reconstruction to indicate the optimal placement for maximizing tunnel length and bone bridge size, using 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scans of throwing athletes. The results revealed that parameters such as humeral and ulnar tunnel angles, starting points, and diameters affect tunnel length and bone bridge size in MUCL reconstructions.
