Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Ulnar neuritis around the elbow is one of the injuries seen in throwing athletes. Outcomes of nonsurgical treatment and factors associated with failure outcomes have not been reported.
PURPOSE:
To investigate the outcomes of treatments for ulnar neuritis in adolescent baseball players.
STUDY DESIGN:
Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
CONCLUSION:
Hand numbness on the ulnar side, ulnar nerve subluxation, and UCL injury are strong predictors of poor outcomes after nonsurgical treatment for ulnar neuritis, and surgery provides excellent results.
