What is Tommy John Surgery?

UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.

Before that though,

Chad Green had this to say about his injury!

New York manager Aaron Boone had this to say about Chad Green deciding to have Tommy John Surgery!

"It's tough news, but with this surgery, it's usually something that pitchers are able to return from. I know he will. He's an outstanding athlete that takes great care of himself and has a really good work ethic. I know that in time, he'll be fine. I expect him to pitch several more years at the level we've come to expect.
