Elbow ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction has evolved considerably over more than 30 years since first performed. Many modifications of the original procedure are described and the reported outcomes seem to improve with each passing decade. This trend is due in part to an improved understanding of the relevant anatomy and also to improved surgical methods. The DANE TJ method for medial elbow ligament reconstruction offers the surgeon 1 more option and potentially produces construct isometry that most closely resembles the native ligament.
