2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Questions and Answers II: The Thrower's Shoulder

Questions and Answers II: The Thrower's Shoulder

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this Q&A, Dr. Cohn discusses how dissecting the biceps groove and opening the transverse humeral ligament can increase the risk of Popeye deformity but may reduce anterior shoulder pain by thorough groove debridement. A question to Dr. Carr addresses the challenge of correlating elbow varus torque measured in 45 pitchers with factors like musculoskeletal maturity and mechanics. He acknowledges this limitation but notes that pitch count trends still hold when considering injury risk, despite individual variability. The session concludes with appreciation for the presentations and a transition to the next talk.
