What Is an Internal Elbow Brace?

The use of internal elbow braces is a newer technique to repair complicated elbow injuries. One use of the internal elbow brace is to repair the ulnar collateral ligament, or UCL. A UCL injury is a common injury in baseball players that has typically been repaired with Tommy John surgery. The internal brace is less invasive, repairing the ligament with bracing tape that can help stabilize the elbow joint. The advantages are a less invasive procedure with a quicker recovery and more natural function to recover from a complex elbow dislocation injury.
