Lateral subluxation of the coronoid process into the trochlea was observed and can be considered a sign of minor medial elbow instability. Mini-open suture anchor aMCL plication is an original techniqu e that enables an anatomic and minimally invasive ligament retension.Clinical relevanceThe authors introduce a valid and safe treatment of posttraumatic medial elbow laxity.
