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 video Q&A session, the discussion revolves around the stability of the biceps groove and the potential deformities that can occur due to biceps ruptures. The possibility of the higher rate of Popeye deformity resulting from the sacrifice of mesotendons and vinculae through the transverse humeral ligament is raised. Thorough debridement and reduction of anterior shoulder pain are considered important strategies in the procedure. Another study on elbow varus torque as a surrogate for workload is discussed, acknowledging the limitations of not accounting for factors like musculoskeletal maturity and flexor pronator strength. Overall, the participants are commended for their presentations.
