Evaluating the efficacy of hinged elbow braces in reducing passive valgus forces after ulnar collateral ligament injury—A biomechanical study

Evaluating the efficacy of hinged elbow braces in reducing passive valgus forces after ulnar collateral ligament injury—A biomechanical study

This biomechanical study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a hinged elbow orthosis in reducing passive valgus forces following medial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries of the elbow joint. The hypothesis tested was that a hinged elbow orthosis reduces these passive valgus forces.
