Tommy John Surgery

Tommy John surgery (UCL reconstruction) replaces a torn ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow with a tendon graft. Essential for overhead athletes — especially baseball pitchers — who need to return to throwing sports. Over 85% of athletes return to their previous level of competition.

Success rate: 85-95% | Return to sport: 12-18 months | Most common in: Baseball pitchers

PRP Injections

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to deliver growth factors that promote tissue healing. PRP is effective for chronic tendon injuries, mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis, and muscle injuries in athletes. Most patients need 1-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Cost: $500-$2,000/session (cash pay) | Sessions: 1-3 | Best for: Tendon injuries, mild OA
