They explain that capsular procedures are becoming increasingly common in surgical treatment for baseball players, and that the pathology seen now is different from what was previously thought. The speaker discusses the mechanics of the immature athlete and how it can lead to glenoid dysplasia and motion loss. They also discuss the diagnosis and treatment of capsule tears, showing surgical demonstrations and discussing post-op protocols. The speaker emphasizes the importance of intervening at each stage of the continuum to prevent surgical intervention. No credits were mentioned in the video.
