The Atlanta Braves’ Mike Soroka is the latest Major League Baseball player to undergo Tommy John surgery, a procedure that involves replacing a damaged ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. However, the surgery is not limited to baseball players. It has become a common procedure for athletes in various sports, as well as for individuals with degenerative conditions or injuries. The surgery, which typically takes around 12 months to recover from, has been a topic of discussion in the sports world and beyond.
