Answer
Tommy John surgery, named after the pitcher who first underwent the procedure in 1974, is a surgical repair of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow. This ligament stabilizes the elbow joint and prevents excessive stress on the medial side of the elbow. The surgery involves replacing the damaged UCL with a tendon from elsewhere in the body, typically the forearm or hamstring.
