AGH sports medicine physician Darren Frank, MD, discuss chronic shoulder and elbow injuries in athletes

The Pittsburgh Sports Report and Allegheny General Hospital present the second installment of “Get In The Game,” a series of informational videos geared toward addressing the bumps and bruises typically encountered in during youth sports training and competition.

Hosted by PSR Publisher Ellis Cannon, this episode of “Get In The Game” features Allegheny General Hospital sports medicine physician Darren Frank, MD, discussing chronic shoulder and elbow injuries in overhead-throwing athletes.

Dr. Frank explains how sports specialization and overuse can lead to arm injuries in young athletes, and how “simple smarts” by parents and coaches can go a long way toward preventing these injuries.
