OBJECTIVE: Present a unique case of non-operative management of a partial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear where the athlete was able to return to performance-based training in a brief six-week period.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 29-year-old male running back presented to a sports specialist chiropractor for post-injection management of a grade 2 partial tear of the right UCL treated with ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections. Physical exam testing found limitations in elbow range of motion (ROM) as well as positive orthopedic tests confirming a UCL injury including the milking maneuver, and dynamic valgus stress test.
SUMMARY: Management consisted of multimodal chiropractic care including active release therapy (ART), electroacupuncture and rehabilitation exercises. This patient's improved strength and function without surgical intervention highlights the possible role of biologic injections as a form of non-operative management when combined with multimodal care to accelerate recovery from UCL injuries in elite athletes.
