Abstract

Objective: To retrospectively analyze publicly available elbow ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) injury data for professional baseball players.

Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.

Setting: A retrospective analysis using an open-source database was performed. The database contained all known UCLR surgeries among Major League Baseball (MLB) and Minor League Baseball (MiLB) players.

Participants: In total, 1801 professional male professional baseball pitchers (age: 24.5 ± 3.9 years) who have undergone UCLR between 1974 and 2024.

Main outcome measures: The number of UCLR procedures each year.

Independent variables: Change-point analysis was used to identify changes in the number of UCLR surgeries over time among MLB and MiLB players. For MLB players, number of UCLR surgeries from 1974 to 2023 was analyzed, while for MiLB players, data starting from 1981 to 2024 were analyzed.

Results: For MLB players, 3 change points were identified, occurring around 1989 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1988-1990), 2000 (95% CI, 2000-2000), and 2012 (95% CI, 2011-2017). For MiLB players, 3 change points were identified occurring around 2001 (95% CI, 2001-2001), 2009 (95% CI, 2008-2010), and 2013 (95% CI, 2013-2015).

Conclusions: Overall, there has been a rise in the number of UCLR surgeries per year for the past 50 years in professional baseball, with distinct time points identified, representing increases in the number of UCLR surgeries each year. A higher number of UCLR surgeries are performed per year in the MiLB than in the MLB.

检视职业棒球运动员尺侧副韧带重建手术模式之改变。
目的:回顾性分析公开的职业棒球运动员肘关节尺侧副韧带重建(UCLR)损伤数据。设计:描述性流行病学研究。设置:使用开源数据库进行回顾性分析。该数据库包含了美国职业棒球大联盟(MLB)和美国职业棒球小联盟(MiLB)球员中所有已知的UCLR手术。参与者:1974年至2024年间接受过UCLR的1801名职业男性职业棒球投手(年龄:24.5±3.9岁)。主要衡量指标:每年UCLR程序的数量。独立变量:变化点分析用于确定MLB和MLB球员UCLR手术次数随时间的变化。MLB球员分析1974 - 2023年UCLR手术次数,MiLB球员分析1981 - 2024年UCLR手术次数。结果:对于MLB球员,确定了3个变化点,分别发生在1989年(95%置信区间[CI], 1988-1990)、2000年(95% CI, 2000-2000)和2012年(95% CI, 2011-2017)左右。对于MiLB球员,确定了3个变化点,分别发生在2001年(95% CI, 2001-2001)、2009年(95% CI, 2008-2010)和2013年(95% CI, 2013-2015)。结论:总体而言,在过去的50年中,职业棒球每年的UCLR手术数量有所增加,并且确定了不同的时间点,代表了每年UCLR手术数量的增加。MiLB每年进行的UCLR手术数量高于MLB。
