Denise DadorThe Tommy John surgery was named for a Dodgers pitcher in 1974, and now the team's Shohei Ohtani is recovering from the procedure.Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani will soon start a throwing program, just months after having successful followup Tommy John surgery.
He performed that surgery while Ohtani played for the Angels. As the Dodgers' head team doctor, ElAttrache looked on with admiration, but also concern. "The sport is willing to invest enormous amounts of money in these players," said ElAtrrache, chairman of the Kerlan-Jobe Foundation. The ulnar collateral ligament keeps the elbow hinge stable. But when pitchers throw, it unlocks the hinge putting incredible force on the fibrous tissue. Doctors replace it with a donor graft usually taken from the forearm or hamstring.
