Why would you get funky movement?
I don't know exactly, but I'd guess there could be a couple reasons. You may now have stronger tendons after surgery that allow your arm to flex or rotate more or differently. Maybe you throw with a different motion after the re-build.
All I know is, I've played with about a dozen people that had the surgery, and they said they have movement afterwards that they didn't have before.

It's mental. The surgery consists of taking a tendon and drilling holes through two bones using that tendon to tie them together in a figure eight pattern where the UCL used to be. The physiology of it is actually amazing. The tendon literally becomes a ligament. Beyond that, any changes take place because of rehab. Nothing to do with the surgery itself. If every healthy pitcher went through the same process, they'd see "improvements" too.
