What injury led to Joe Nathan's Tommy John surgery in 2010?

  • Torn Ulnar Collateral Ligament

  • Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Broken Arm

  • Dislocated Shoulder

Answer

A torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) led to Joe Nathan's Tommy John surgery in 2010. The UCL is a ligament in the elbow that connects the humerus to the ulna. It helps to stabilize the elbow and prevents it from hyperextending. When the UCL is torn, it can cause pain, instability, and weakness in the elbow.
