There was no difference in MRI grades of the UCL between symptomatic and asymptomatic elbows in baseball players; approximately 30% of elbows demonstrated high-grade UCL injuries in both groups. BME in the sublime tubercle was more frequently seen in symptomatic elbows than in asymptomatic elbows. BME in the sublime tubercle was a better indicator of symptoms than was MRI grading of the UCL.
