How long is the recovery from Tommy John surgery?
I want to make clear that I am a primary care sports physicians and I don't perform surgery. With that being said, with partial tears of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), first line of treatment would be non-operative or non-surgical on partial tears. High level throwers often do get Tommy John surgery in order to continue and remain competitive in their sport. Tommy John surgery is reconstruction of the anterior band of the UCL. Returning to competitive throwing is a lengthy process and typically takes anywhere from 9-12 months. 90% of throwers return to pre-injury levels of throwing. If you would like to speak to a surgeon in the area regarding the surgery, Please feel free to reach out to me and I'll be happy to refer you to some of our top local orthopedic surgeons (sports medicine specialists).
