Dr. Frank Jobe was the first person to complete an ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (named Tommy John surgery for the pitcher he performed it on) in 1974. Jobe has since become a prominent surgeon, and has worked extensively with baseball players, including with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Jobe discusses the mechanics of Tommy John surgery, other potential injuries to the arm that occur in baseball players, prevention strategies, and lends his insight into what he thinks the future of medicine in this area might look like.
