The prevalence of Tommy John surgery, reconstruction of the Ulnar Collateral Ligament in the elbow, in Major League Baseball pitchers has been growing significantly over the past fifteen years. This injury results from overuse of the elbow joints as a result of thousands of pitches over many years.

The study focused on whether the pitcher could return and maintain the same workload as before. The study concluded that the pitchers that have come back and are fully healed do not need a lesser
