MIDATLANTICDAD, thank you for the information. Yes as far as the internal brace goes, that’s the same thing our doctor had stated. Has had “some” success but just hasn’t been around long enough to have a thorough idea of how successful. Certainly the slightly shorter recovery time frame was a point of interest for us but where it would end up and when next season would start wouldn’t really allow for a full healthy recovery due to the urge to pitch again. The full repair will allow my son to gradually ease into activity’s over the summer, ramp up in to the fall, hopefully be ready by 2021. Patience and mental toughness will be challenged over the next many months

For what it's worth, my 2019 had Primary Repair done Sept 2017 by Dr. Jeff Dugas at Andrews in Birmingham. Everything went well and he's now throwing harder than before. He was back on the mound in about 6 months. Highly recommend getting Dugas to do it if you do reconsider. Best of luck and PM me with any questions.
