Ligament Reconstruction for Recurrent Anterior Dislocation of the Radial Head

Figure 4

Schematic illustrations of ligament reconstruction surgery. After creating a tunnel at the proximal ulna, the loop of a number 2 high-strength suture is advanced through the tunnel (a). Autograft and a broad high-strength suture are shuttled through the loop to reconstruct the annular ligament (b). After fixation using an interference screw, the end of the graft complex is advanced proximally and fixed using a soft anchor placed at the lateral epicondyle (c).
