Shoulder Injuries in the Overhead Athlete Date: Wed, Sep 29th, 2021 Time: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Location: Online
Statement of Need:
Sports medicine is constantly evolving and physicians are always looking to provide better care to athletes. Overhead athletes frequently suffer from shoulder injuries and problems, due to repetitive application of high forces to the shoulder joint and the surrounding anatomic structures. This Sports Medicine lecture series looks to discuss the various injuries associated with overhead athletic activities such as baseball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, and others sports. The lecture will tackle the issues of capsular laxity and contracture, scapular dysfunction, internal impingement, and injuries of the rotator cuff and glenoid labrum. Considerations for surgical and non-surgical treatment of these injuries, as well as potential preventative strategies that can be applied during training, will be reviewed. The symposium will be beneficial for sports medicine providers wishing to improve their knowledge and competence in the care of the overhead athlete.
