Background: Shoulder injuries are very common in athletes playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA). With increasing injury video uploads available online, we may be able to identify and systematically describe the mechanism of these injuries in these athletes.
Purpose: To (1) determine the validity of video-based analysis to evaluate mechanisms of shoulder injuries in NBA players during the 2010-2020 seasons and (2) report on commonly sustained injuries, circumstances associated with injury, and number of games missed owing to injury.
Background: In the National Basketball Association (NBA), lower extremity injuries account for over 70% of games missed, with ankle injuries being the most common. High-quality video analysis has been successful for studying injury mechanism.
Purpose: To (1) determine the validity of video-based analysis as a method to evaluate ankle injury mechanisms in NBA players and (2) analyze the circumstances associated with injury, games missed due to injury, and associated costs in player salary due to time missed.
