10 The Problem

11 It s Complicated Consensus

12 Jason L. Zaremski, M.D., CAQSM Assistant Professor, Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation Divisions of PM&R, Sports Medicine, & Research, University of Florida AAPMR Annual Meeting Boston, MA October 3 rd, 2015

13 Epidemiology-Baseball >10,000 baseball players in NCAA Division I baseball 500,000 HS aged baseball players in the US Shoulder and/or elbow pain ranges from 17% to 45% in one season. Adams JE. Injury to the throwing arm: a study of traumatic changes in the elbow joints of boy baseball players. Calif Med. 1965;102: Lyman S, et al. Longitudinal study of elbow and shoulder pain in youth baseball pitchers. Med Sci Sports Exerc Nov;33(11): National Collegiate Athletic Association Sports Sponsorship and Participation Reports

15 50% of 9-14 yr old players have experienced elbow &/or shoulder pain during play Lyman et al: AJSM 12 Surgeries appear to be increasing in young baseball players Fleisig et al: J Sports Health 12, Erickson AJSM 15 Incidence of UCL injury in year olds > 9% between 2007 and 2011.

16 Risk Factors Overuse Throwing Fatigue from Overuse Fleisig 2011 AJSM, Dale N Am J Sports Phys Ther 2007, Olsen AJSM 2006, more.. Guidelines: MLB Pitch Smart Specialization: Specialization Position Statement DiFiori AMSSM Or is it due to Biomechanics Throwing v Pitching ROM, TROM, GIRD (glenohumeral internal rotation deficit): Wilk et al, AJSM 2014; Hurd JAT 2012 Pitch Type: Controversial (specifically Curve Ball)

17 The elbow is the most claustrophobic joint in the body Eric Cressey

18 Tommy John, the ACL of the Elbow Dr. James Andrews

19 Tommy John Epidemic?

20 Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injuries Chronic valgus stress places ligament at risk for laxity or tearing Pitchers at highest risk

21 UCL Injuries - Evaluation Medial pain during late cocking, acceleration or deceleration is hallmark Pain with valgus testing more reliable than laxity Laxity on valgus testing at 30 minimal unless tear is complete MRI with contrast fluid leakage outside of joint represents complete tear

22 Valgus/Extension Overload It always leads back to the valgus and extension forces (termed valgus-extension overload by many) that combine to wreak havoc on an elbow during throwing Valgus force of 64Nm on the elbow (Fleisig, et al.)

23 Tissue Failure Rate As Morrey et al. determined, the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) takes on approximately 54% of this valgus force meaning that it s assuming about 35Nm of force on each pitch. This is all well and good until you realize that in cadaveric models, the UCL fails at 32Nm

25 UCL Injuries - Treatment Rest Physical therapy NSAIDs Return to throwing when pain-free Surgery autologous tendon secured in tunnels in humerus and ulna in figure-of-eight fashion, ulnar nerve transposed

26 Popular Opinion? Survey of people in the New York City area, asking high school pitchers, college baseball players, parents, and coaches, What do you think the success rate of Tommy John surgery is? They think two-thirds of people have a successful surgery. Now get this: One-third to half of them think they ll have better velocity after the surgery. Even scarier: Twenty-five to 50 percent of them think you could you have surgery sometimes without even having the injury, just to make your elbow stronger.

27 Recommended Rest Guidelines Watch and respond to signs of fatigue. No overhead throwing of any kind for at least 2-3 months/year (4 months is preferred). No competitive baseball pitching for at least 4 months/year. Limits for pitch counts and days rest. Avoid pitching on multiple teams. Good throwing mechanics. ASMI Position Paper

28 The Solution

29 Injury Prevention Tactic for Throwing Athlete Volume and Mechanics

30 Volume

31 "I want parents and coaches to realize the implications of putting a 12- or 13-year-old through the type of athletic work done by a 25-year-old," says Dr. James Andrews.

32 Give them time off to recover. Please. Give them time to recover. Dr. James Andrews

33 Don't play year-round Dr. James Andrews

34 Stay away from radar gun Dr. James Andrews

35 Be careful around showcases Dr. James Andrews

37 Pitch Limit American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI) recommends pitches per week: 1. Ages 8-10: 52 pitches 2. Ages 11-12: 68 pitches 3. Ages 13-14: 76 pitches 4. Ages 15-16: 91 pitches 5. Ages 17-18: 106 pitches Practice and recreational pitching add to this strain

38 Pitch Types Pitch type should also be limited to reduce injury Before age 10, only fast ball and change-up should be permitted Curveball, slider, knuckleball and screwball may be introduced with increasing age ASMI

39 Mechanics

40 Proper Mechanics Dr. James Andrews

41 Roundtable Discussion Orthopeadics Today (March 2015) late shoulder external rotation, low shoulder abduction and excessive elbow flexion during pitching are some motions that may lead to increased elbow torque Andrews, Ciccotti, Fleisig, Donohue, and more

42 Pitching Mechanics Curveball and slider related to joint pain in young pitchers These pitches place high loads on shoulder and elbow Curveball requires new set of mechanics Adolescents more susceptible to injury because growth plates still open

43 Youth Baseball Recommendations No curveball or slider between 9 and 14 Fastball and change-ups only Age-appropriate pitch limit per game By adhering to the above recommendations, we can expect the occurrence of shoulder and elbow pain in young throwers to decrease. Ref: ASMI

44 Dr. Andrews/Fleisig Optimize pitching mechanics to ensure using the whole body in a coordinated sequence (kinetic chain). A biomechanical analysis is recommended, as it provides objective data to the pitching coach, strength coach, and pitcher.

105 inhibitory receptors ruffini mechanoreceptors: stimulation of ruffini corpuscles is assumed to result in a lowering of sympathetic nervous system activity (van den Berg & Capri 1999). slow deep tissue techniques tend to have a relaxing effect on local tissues as well as on the whole organism. It therefore appears that deep manual pressure specifically if it is slow or steady- stimulates interstitial and Ruffini resulting in global muscle relaxation, as well as a more peaceful mind and less emotional arousal. post activity 105

171 Findings Confirmed that convolutions in the superficial tissues are formed. Free nerve endings in this region are sensitive to stretch loads, and these convolutions may result in alterations of afferent input/pain inhibition. Local tissue (target tissue) demonstrated sizeable and mechanical effects shown The non target tissue also showed sizeable heterogenous deformations with inter-subject variability being notable. Additionally the researchers found in the local tissues, the deformations created were not related to the direction of taping, further debunking the myth that the direction of application of the tape is important

181 Pitching with Arm Fatigue Average > 80 pitches = 4x risk of surgery Pitch competitively > 8 months/year = 5x likelihood of injury Pitching regularly with fatigued arm = 36x as likely to have an injury and potentially need surgery! Olsen SJ, et al. AJSM. 2006

186 adhesive tape that is adequately placed on the skin can provide sensory information that compensate for the less accurate muscular proprioception after fatigue. The positive results could justify further investigations to better understand how cutaneous stimulation could allow us to enhance postural and dynamic movement control. 186

231 Schematic Representation of a Possible Mechanistic Basis for TRPM8-Mediated Analgesia after CCI In this simplified hypothetical model, activation of TRPM8 in a subpopulation of afferents by icilin, menthol, or moderate cooling leads to central synaptic release of glutamate (Glu), which then acts through inhibitory Group II/III mglur receptors located either presynaptically on injury-activated nociceptive afferents or perhaps also postsynaptically on dorsal-horn neurons, thereby attenuating neuropathic sensitization.
