Rehabilitation nach Reparatur des ulnaren Kollateralbands mit „InternalBrace“

Sportler, die viele Überkopfwürfe machen, erleiden häufig eine Verletzung des ulnaren Kollateralbandes. Nicht selten leidet darunter die sportliche Karriere. Dank neuer Operationsmethoden und einem 5-stufigen Reha-Plan besteht für sie aber die berechtigte Hoffnung, ihr früheres Leistungsniveau wieder zu erreichen.
