Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses elbow injuries in football players compared to baseball players. Most of the data presented is from baseball, as elbow injuries are not common in football. The speaker discusses various types of elbow injuries, including avulsion, OCD from repetitive use, and electro non-stress fractures. Risk factors for elbow injuries in baseball players are mainly overuse. In professional football, quarterbacks rarely have elbow injuries, while multi-sport athletes at younger ages may be more prone to them. The speaker also discusses treatment options, including non-operative treatment with braces, surgical interventions, and the use of an internal brace. The importance of early rehab and prevention through education and conditioning is emphasized.
