Repetitive Pitching Decreases the Elbow Valgus Stability Provided by the Flexor-Pronator Mass: The Effects of Repetitive Pitching on Elbow Valgus Stability

Posted on: 07-Jul-2023

Baseball pitching induces a large elbow valgus load, stressing the ulnar collateral ligament.

Orchard Orthopedics
The difference is the experience: designed around you, start to finish.

Orchard Orthopedics was built on a simple idea: the way medicine treats injured, active people is broken — long waits, rushed visits, and decisions shaped by insurance instead of what’s right for you. We chose a different model — direct access, unhindered care, and complete honesty about what you need, and what you don’t.

If you're dealing with a shoulder or knee injury, I’d like to help you get back to the life you’ve built.
