LUCO procedure? - OrthoMT


Posted: Sep 05, 2012

Can't find this anywhere, but it sounds like L-U-C-O or L-U-C-L procedure?


Context: "We also did an *s/l LUCO* procedure to tighten the *s/l LUCO* and tighten up the lateral aspect."

 

TIA!

lateral aspect of what? - where are we

It is the elbow - OrthoMT

Sorry for excluding that part of the context! :-)

Nevermind - I think I got it - LUCL - OrthoMT

I found lateral ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow, so I'm hoping that is it!
