abstract: Upper extremity injuries tend to take more time to recover from, and this is even more so in a throwing athlete. Specific injuries of the shoulder and elbow that are common in the throwing athlete are discussed and how advancements in diagnostic and surgical technology have allowed a quicker, more reliable return for a throwing athlete to their previous level of activity.
