Video Summary
The panel discussed a case involving a 12-year-old female softball player with medial elbow pain and calcification after nonoperative treatment failed to relieve symptoms. They deliberated whether to opt for surgery, discussing MRI findings and potential techniques. Opinions varied on employing nonoperative methods versus surgical interventions like MRI arthrograms or suture bridge techniques. The discussion expanded to managing shoulder and elbow injuries in throwers, highlighting the importance of comprehensive evaluation and treatment. Techniques like knotless constructs and internal bracing were mentioned for UCL repairs, and the importance of managing kinetic chain issues was emphasized. The consensus stressed a team approach and the role of a skilled physical therapist in successful recovery and return to sports. Overall, the dialogue highlighted the complexity of treating young athletes' elbow injuries, balancing surgical innovation, and ensuring long-term athletic functionality.
