I’m sure Dr Morse has heard of Paget-Schroetter syndrome. Maybe not.

Saw this several times in 20 years of practice, even during fellowship, and long before CoVID. Let’s be honest about this condition and stop blaming the vaccine.

But we all know he’s looking for likes.

Spring seems to always have increased stress injuries but this spring has seemed to surpass prior years substantially. #overuseinjuries

Doctors at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta are noticing a rise in the number of cases of stress fractures in their young patients. The increase could be due to deconditioning during the pandemic, when kids were less active. https://t.co/l6iHzkGg8C

Baseball Week #5

Study shows less elbow pain with longer duration of an offseason in elementary aged baseball players compared to those with shorter offseason.

Have 'seasons' for a sport, not year round.

@MizzouSportsDoc Agreed. The secondary economic impacts of the pandemic are worrisome.

[Ryan Baker, MD @pedssportmd]

@ManuNaeole Interesting thread

[Ryan Baker, MD @pedssportmd]

Absurd. Pay attention.....

[Aaron Gray, M.D. @MizzouSportsDoc]

Very important thread. While only a fraction of surgeries and doctor visits are occuring, insurance companies are saving billions of $$$.

@Midwest_MedPeds I’m ready to bic my head not knowing what’s under my thinning hair...might as well embrace it. You on the other hand have a full head still!

[Ryan Baker, MD @pedssportmd]

@BreannBooher You’ve got this! #mtspo you’ve already passed the biggest hoop; willingness to try.

[Ryan Baker, MD @pedssportmd]

More to learn....our current measures need work.

Outstanding work Matt et al thanks 🙏 4 cites: passing common RTS batteries include criteria like achieving >90% limb symmetry in single leg hop tests, provide little assurance that athlete is physically prepared 4 RTS after ACLR to avoid 2nd ACL injury (Webster and Hewett, 2019)

Antibiotic resistance is real. Think twice about getting abx for your cough and congestion. Most likely it's viral ... including your cold they turned into bronchitis.
