Experience with RPP vs. internal brace for proximal UCL tear?

nycdad10,000+ posts

2020 son has a partial proximal UCL tear. When he first went to see his ortho he didn't show clinical signs of a tear, but sent him for a MRI to see what was going on.

Options are PRP or internal brace (not full blown Tommy John). His surgeon has had success with both and he's being told both should get him back onto the field this year barring any major setbacks.

Just wondering what others experience with this is for a proximal tear which seems less common than a distal tear. 99% certain we're leaning towards surgery.

Thanks
