UCL Repair Group (n = 33) | Control Group (n = 33) | P | |
---|---|---|---|
Dominant shoulder external rotation, deg | 119 ± 10 | 117 ± 9 | .28 |
Nondominant shoulder external rotation, deg | 108 ± 11 | 116 ± 9 | .04b |
Dominant shoulder internal rotation, deg | 48 ± 9 | 49 ± 9 | .52 |
Nondominant shoulder internal rotation, deg | 60 ± 8 | 60 ± 9 | .68 |
Dominant elbow extension, deg | 4 ± 8 | 1 ± 8 | .08 |
Nondominant elbow extension,c deg | –1 ± 4 | –1 ± 8 | .78 |
aData are expressed as mean ± SD. UCL, ulnar collateral ligament.
bSignificant difference (P < .05) between the 2 groups.
cNegative elbow extension signifies hyperextension.
