Ms. McNally began experiencing elbow pain during a tournament in 2023, and it has since persisted.  She said in a March post on Instagram that Jeffrey Dugas, MD, performed the surgery.

“After 10 months of elbow pain and multiple conservative routes, we made the decision that surgery was the best option moving forward. I’m extremely grateful for Dr. Dugas and his team who took incredible care of me,” Ms. McNally said in the post.  

While Ms. McNally is sidelined while she undergoes physical therapy, she aims to return to competition in 2024, according to the report. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
