The day we all feared has arrived: Johnny Cueto will have Tommy John surgery. Tomorrow, Thursday, in fact. It’ll be in Los Angeles, performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Kerlan-Jobe Institute, part of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Dr. ElAttrache is basically the surgeon to the stars, having performed rotator cuff surgery on Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger and repairing Kobe Bryant’s torn Achilles. He also repaired Zack Greinke’s broken collar bone following his fight with Carlos Quentin back in 2013.
“Dr. ElAttrache is the real deal — one of the most talented surgeons I’ve met,” Schwarzenegger said.
