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

Questions and Answers I: The Thrower's Shoulder

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Rao discusses a custom return to play questionnaire. He explains that the questionnaire is just a set of questions they ask players and doesn't provide any specific criteria for determining when players can return to play. During the Q&A session, Dr. Andrews answers questions about GERD in throwers, the role of micro-instability in slap surgery, and the treatment of younger athletes with shoulder injuries. Dr. Mirabella asks about releasing the posterior inferior capsule in patients with a lack of internal rotation and a slap tear. Dr. Barrett answers a question about the size of the holes drilled in the proximal hole and whether they offset the holes to prevent fractures.
