Management Of Sublime Tubercle Injuries In Adolescent Throwing Athletes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses two studies on the treatment of injuries in young baseball players. The first study focused on sublime tubercle injuries and found that treating them with immobilization yielded successful results, while treating them like adult injuries led to more failures. The second study looked at osteochondritis dissecans of the humeral capitulum and found that conservative treatment, including rest and limited activity, resulted in healing and return to play in about 80% of cases. The timing of surgery was determined based on the healing of the lateral wall of the capitulum. Both studies acknowledge limitations and emphasize the importance of appropriate treatment and timing for positive outcomes.
