Dr. Bobby Chhabra

The Chair of UVA Orthopedics discussed the potential of a college athlete returning from an ACL injury nine months later, given that UVA Linebacker Kam Robinson is trying to overcome those circumstances. (Dr. Chhabra could not comment specifically on Robinson because his department cares for the athlete.) He also discussed the history of Tommy John surgery following the passing of the former pitcher who the procedure is named after, as well as what age is too young for the surgery, UVA Football expectations, NIL, the dominance of Virginia Swimming and more.
