Video Transcription
Video Summary
In this video, Dr. Andy Rosenbaum discusses the treatment of partial UCL tears in baseball players. He highlights the increasing incidence of UCL reconstruction surgeries, particularly among adolescent athletes. Dr. Rosenbaum also mentions the concerns surrounding early specialization and overuse in baseball, which may contribute to these injuries. He discusses the factors involved in determining whether non-operative treatment is suitable, such as the desired level of competition, timing, tissue quality, and location of the tear. The speaker also touches upon MRI classifications for partial tears and presents studies that suggest non-operative treatment can be successful in certain cases. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering non-operative options for the overall physical and mental wellness of athletes, particularly with proximal UCL injuries in younger players. This area could benefit from further research. The video was given by Dr. Andy Rosenbaum.
