Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

ULNAR COLLATERAL LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

(AKA TOMMY JOHN SURGERY)

When the inner elbow ligament (ulnar collateral ligament) is ruptured in the throwing athlete, a reconstruction is required to stabilize the elbow. Donor tissue is utilized to rebuild the native ligaments onto their anatomic attachment sites on the ulna and humerus. Once full rehabilitation and healing are achieved, strength and function approach pre-injury levels.
