Doug, this link helps explain it. I almost had to get it done when I dislocated my elbow 30 years ago. Fortunately, I eventually healed and the surgery wasn’t necessary. Although it did take me close to 2 years to fully heal.
Thanks. When I was a teenager I tore my elbow up playing baseball. Had a neighbor that got me into the NY Yankees doctors. Told me I needed Tommy John Surgery, in my case recovery was going to be a very long drawn out deal...I walked away...
