IMO it is relevant because it is evidence that shows that surgeries overall have increased in numbers.Thanks.
I just read the article and while it's good info, I'm not sure how it's relevant.
Not just elbows.
That's okay you can look at the one situation with pitchers elbows as its own consequence to pitching.
imo you have to look at overall surgery statistics to make fair comparison.
I was surprised in my Google researching that I found the article that stated softball players have a higher risk of injury than baseball players.
Every article I have read through says overuse is the root of the injury problem.
And I absolutely 100% think that there are players that will push themselves as far as they can push beyond their bodies limits. Then knowing that they can have a surgery make some push farther.
Another surgery based example
If you look at football player surgery. There is a very common shoulder surgery that is done where they shave off the cuff of bone that extends over the Rotator of the shoulders. Because it causes an impingement syndrome. That surgery became more prevalent. And allowing players to get back on the field without continual problem.
