PATIENT SUCCESS STORY

UCL Injury and Tommy John Surgery

When left-handed pitcher Mason tore his UCL, he turned to the team at CHOP for reconstructive elbow surgery to get back on the mound.

My parents and I had so many questions and they answered all of them, in full detail. I couldn’t have asked for a better team of people. I have no pain, no fatigue. It’s unbelievable! I honestly did not think I would be where I am now.
