Suture Button Repair for Lateral Ulnar Collateral Ligament in Terrible Triad Injuries Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls Pitfalls
  • Ensure that there is no interposed soft tissue between the suture button and the bone.

  • Countersink the bony trough on the lateral aspect of the distal humerus to fully seat the suture button. Verify origin of LUCL complex before inserting guidewire.

  • Soft tissue interposition between the bone and suture button can lead to inadequate tensioning.
