The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent medial epicondyle excision with ulnar collateral ligament and flexor-pronator mass repair for symptomatic medial epicondyle non-unions. Four patients with a mean age of 15 years (range, 11\u201319 years) diagnosed with symptomatic medial epicondyle nonunions were evaluated. All were treated with medial epicondyle excision with ulnar collateral ligament and flexor-pronator mass repair. Two of the patients were followed for 12 months, whereas the other 2 patients were followed for 18 months. All patients returned to their preinjury level of sports without difficulty. Two patients with preoperative flexion contracture had residual flexion contractures of 4\u00b0 and 5\u00b0 postoperatively, respectively, as measured by a goniometer. All other patients regained full elbow motion equal to that of the contralateral extremity at final follow-up. The patients with preoperative ulnar nerve symptoms had complete resolution postoperatively at a mean follow-up of 18 months. In overhead and upper extremity weight-bearing athletes who have symptomatic medial epicondyle nonunions, fragment excision with flexor-pronator mass repair can yield satisfactory results.
