Abstract: The Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injury is frequently seen in baseball players, it generally causes baseball players to rest for one season or more. In the global context, due to the continuous increase in the number of young people participating in baseball, the proportion of UCL injuries among teenage baseball players has also been increasing. Currently, insufficient attention is paid to UCL injuries in teenage baseball players, which affects their sports experience and career longevity. This study aims to raise awareness among more people about the differences between UCL injuries in teenagers and those in adults, including the risk and severity of the injuries. The purpose is to help adolescent baseball players return to the playing field through appropriate treatment methods and rehabilitation training, to restore their physical functions and the same playing level as before the injury. This not only affects their sports experience but also their sports lifespan. The purpose of this study was to enable more people to understand the severity, risk of injury, rehabilitation training and methods for adolescent UCL injury. Through this study, more people can learn about and pay attention to the UCL injury diseases of adolescent baseball players.
