Abstract

UCL injuries among baseball athletes are an extremely common pathology. It is well documented that baseball athletes typically exhibit an increase in shoulder external rotation range of motion (ERRM) and a decrease in internal rotation range of motion (IRRM) while maintaining total rotational range of motion (TROM). Loss of TROM and ERRM may be associated with increased risk for UCL injury. Ultrasound imaging allows clinicians to evaluate UCL thickness and medial joint space (MJS) opening non-invasively.
