At Orthopedic Performance Institute, we specialize in orthopedic and sports medicine care—including advanced treatment for Tommy John injuries.

What is a Tommy John Injury? A Tommy John injury refers to a tear or damage to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow—most common in baseball pitchers and throwing athletes. It can cause:
- Inner elbow pain
- Decreased throwing velocity and accuracy
- Fatigue or tightness in the elbow
- Numbness or tingling in the forearm or hand
- A sudden “pop” at the time of injury.

Common causes Include: repetitive throwing, overuse or strain, and acute trauma (falls or sudden impact). Treatment options include:
- Conservative Therapy – Rest, ice, and physical therapy
- Tommy John Surgery (UCL Reconstruction) – Often needed for athletes returning to high-level throwing; this involves replacing the torn ligament with a tendon graft.

Whether you're an elite athlete or a weekend warrior, we’re here to get you back in the game—stronger and safer. Call us to schedule a consultation or learn more about your options.
