Description
A UCL tear doesn’t automatically mean every athlete needs Tommy John surgery.
The decision depends on the athlete’s sport, the injury, elbow stability, symptoms, and the demands they need to meet.
A throwing athlete faces very different elbow demands from a golfer or weightlifter.
That’s why I want the diagnosis and the sport-specific requirements assessed before anyone assumes surgery is the only path.
Treat the athlete, not just the MRI.
