Background: Elbow injuries are prevalent among professional baseball pitchers as nearly 25% undergo ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction. Pitch type, ball velocity, and spin rate have been previously hypothesized to influence elbow varus torque and subsequent risk of injury, but existing research is inconclusive.
Purpose: To examine elbow varus torque, cumulative torque, and loading rate within professional pitchers throwing fastball, curveball, change-up, and slider pitches, as well as to identify potential influences of ball spin on the elbow.

Background: Ruptures of the distal biceps tendon (DBT) can affect the range of motion and strength of the elbow, raising concerns for patients seeking to restore normal function and engage in their regular activities, particularly returning to previous levels of sport participation.
Purpose: To characterize and assess the rate and timing of return to sport (RTS) after DBT repair.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.
Background: Patient-reported outcome measures are a valuable tool to evaluate an intervention from a patient's perspective. Previous evidence shows that, while resident involvement may increase operative times, it does not affect complications or patient-reported outcomes. This study sought to assess the impact of a new residency program on patient-reported outcome measures, operative time, and complication rates in total shoulder arthroplasty.

Purpose Wrestling injuries in female athletes is an understudied topic. The aim of this study is to characterize the injuries that occur in female wrestlers aged five to 18 who presented to United States (US) emergency departments (ED) from 2014-2023 and compare patterns between youth and adolescent wrestlers. Method This was a retrospective comparative study including female patients aged five to 18 years of age presenting to the ED due to an injury related to their participation in the sport of wrestling.
