In this Yahoo! sports article, two professional athletes discuss UCL thumb surgery. New Orleans Saints quarterback, Drew Brees, met with Los Angeles Angels baseball player, Mike Trout, prior to his surgery. Since Trout has previously had this procedure in 2017, he was able to give some insight and discuss with Brees. “Trout missed six weeks recovering from the injury in 2017 but reportedly told Brees that he was pain-free and regained a full range of motion after just five weeks.” Hand injuries can happen to anyone, not just to professional athletes.
