Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction (Tommy John Surgery)
Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction (Tommy John Surgery)
Medial Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction (Tommy John Surgery) is designed to repair a torn elbow ligament - an injury typically caused by strong, repetitive overhead throwing motions of the arm or by dislocation of the elbow. It was first performed in 1974 on baseball pitcher Tommy John.
