Questions and Answers II: The Athlete's Elbow

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the indications for arthroscopic treatment and the definition of failure of non-operative treatment. They explain that patients without significant mechanical symptoms or locking in their elbow are sent to physical therapy and given anti-inflammatories. If they are unable to work through their throwing program and have persistent symptoms, surgical treatment is considered. The speaker also mentions that the return to play criteria were not standardized in the study. They mention that the average CAGE-OUT score for pitchers was 83.5, and discuss the challenge of counseling athletes who don't reach the benchmark score of 90. The video concludes by introducing John Conway for further discussion on sequential adjustment. No credits are mentioned.
