“This book is dedicated to a singular problem of the elbow: the ulnar collateral ligament injury. … This is perhaps the most comprehensive book on this topic I have ever read. It is well designed, up to date, easy to read, and a valuable guide for orthopedic surgeons treating these patients. It is a worthy addition to the institutional library and a must-have for anyone who does UCL surgery.” (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2015)
