Risk Factors for an Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury Resulting in Surgery: A Prospective Longitudinal Study of 305 Professional Baseball Pitchers

Background: The number of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) surgical procedures in professional baseball players continues to increase. Hypothesis: Performance, injury history, physical characteristics, pitching velocity, elbow torque, and amount of pitching are associated with the risk of a UCL injury resulting in surgery. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.

Outcome of Glenoid Labral Repair Using All Suture Anchors

Outcomes of Glenoid Labral Repair Using All-Suture Anchors

In recent years, innovation in arthroscopic glenoid labral repair techniques has included the development of all- suture anchors. There are multiple potential advantages of all-suture anchors, including decreased bone removal, anchor migra- tion, synovitis/chondral injury, and bone reaction. Despite these potential advantages, few studies have examined clinical out- comes of glenoid labral repair with all-suture anchors.

Ultrasound-guided microinvasive trigger thumb release with an 18-gauge blade-tipped needle: A case series

Ultrasound (US)-guided trigger finger release provides comparable outcomes to open surgical release, yet there is a lingering concern for neurovascular injury specifically in the thumb due to its unique anatomy. This study evaluated the outcomes of patients undergoing US-guided trigger thumb release

Biomechanical Evaluation

Biomechanical pitching evaluations can enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury by analyzing every detail of a pitcher’s throw and follow through and providing valuable feedback. The tests and data conducted are then used to develop training programs tailored to the athlete’s unique needs.
