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.
Stem cell therapy (BMAC or adipose-derived) uses your body's own regenerative cells to promote healing of damaged tissues. Used for knee osteoarthritis, chronic tendon injuries, and focal cartilage defects. Most effective in younger patients with mild-to-moderate conditions.
