The Andrews Institute hosted a clinic concerning common over use arm injuries in baseball on Thursday at the Athletes' Performance Building. The timing of the seminar was perfect as local youth leagues are preparing to start the 2008 season.
Speakers included orthopedic surgeons Amit Varma, M.D., Christopher O'Grady and Roger Ostrander, M.D.; primary care sports physician Joshua Hackel, M.D.; and Athletes' Performance physical trainer Alex Lincoln. They discussed topics of interest such as elbow and shoulder anatomy, common throwing injuries in youth sports and injury prevention methods.
In states such as Florida, with hot to moderate temperatures, many kids play baseball yearround. On the surface, yearround baseball seems like a great thing, but too much involvement increases any athletes', especially pitchers', chances of suffering serious injuries. The parents and coaches who are responsible for the safety of the "little leaguers" need to be especially aware of these dangers.
