Anatomic Study of the Medial Collateral Ligament in Thai Population: A Cadaveric Study of 56 Elbows.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to elucidate basic anatomic and geometric features of MCL, providing more accurate and detailed information, as guidance for surgeons, to improve patient's outcome of the treatment.

Methods

The anterior bundle (AB), posterior bundle (PB) and transverse bundle (TB) ligament of 56 fresh frozen Thai cadaveric elbows, were measured and recorded, comprise key ligament's geometric features, footprints and dimensions, and its relation to bony landmarks. Sagittal and coronal planes were used in respect of the anatomical position.

Results

The mean distance between the center of AB origin and the apex of medial epicondyle is as follows: 2.97 ± 2.21 mm anteriorly, 4.73 ± 1.60 mm inferiorly in the sagittal plane, and 4.23 ± 1.13 mm deep from the epicondyle
