call them to check on them. There are two of these people I still call to check on them even now that I am in the United States.

In this surgery, the doctor repairs the Ulnar Collateral Ligament by taking part of the palmaris longus tendon in that patient’s elbow. Before the doctor can put the new tendon in where the ulnar ligament was, he first has to drill holes in the humorous and ulna bone. They do this so that they can support the two bones with the new tendon. The next step in Tommy John Surgery is to take the palmaris longus tendon and weave it through the holes of the bone in a figure-eight pattern (Lamb). This…
