2022 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Q&A: Elbow

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a discussion between Dr. Beamer and the participants regarding a translational study on pitching mechanics and injury risk. They discuss the benefits of harnessing ipsilateral and contralateral trunk tilt in pitchers to generate more force without increasing stress on the shoulder and elbow. They mention the need for further research to fully understand the impact on injury risk. They also touch upon modifying pitching mechanics in younger athletes and the variability in trunk tilt among high school pitchers. In a separate discussion, Dr. Ebbins explains why repair of bony avulsions of the sublime tubercle is not always necessary, citing the elbow's tolerance for displacement. Dr. Couture discusses criteria for determining whether an athlete should undergo surgery for lateral wall injury. The timeframe for non-operative treatment and return to play for throwing injuries is also mentioned. No credits are granted.
