O ligamento colateral ulnar (LCU) , está localizado na parte interna do cotovelo. Ele conecta o osso do braço (úmero) a um osso do antebraço (ulna).
É uma grossa faixa triangular localizada no cotovelo. Todas as três faixas servem para limitar o estresse na articulação.

Com o passar do tempo o LCU pode desenvolver pequenas lesões e chegar a tal ponto em que o ligamento já não suporta mais sustentar a força exercida nos arremessos a ponto de romper totalmente

Terrible triad injuries are complex posterior elbow dislocations associated with coronoid and radial head fractures as well as capsular and ligamentous injuries.
These injuries commonly result from a fall on an outstretched arm and the structures of the elbow fail from lateral to medial.

Don’t massage an injured #Elbow
The elbow is a quirky joint & sensitive to injury/immobilisation/ insult & responds by throwing extra new bone called heterotopic ossification(where normally bone shudnt be present)There are many theories explaining why it happens

One practice we see is patients approaching native bone setters for their injuries who massage the joint which leads to exuberant new bone & stiffness. Even at home people apply oil massage when there is injury which is not good for the joint
A recent case where patient had injury , underwent surgery & also underwent massage instead of physio who came with this massive heterotopic ossification . Took a long time to chip off all that new bone !
