Baseball Orthopedic Surgeon Podcast
Today I am joined by baseball orthopedic surgeon Dr. Patrick Jost. Dr. Jost is extremely well trained having a residency at one of the top hospitals in the country, after that he completed a fellowship under renowned baseball orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. During this time he gained knowledge and experience working with high-level throwing athletes.
Subsequently, he returned to Milwaukee and works with local athletes and adults to care for many common orthopedic conditions. Additionally, he serves as a team orthopedic surgeon for multiple local high schools.
Topics discussed:
- Common elbow injuries and pain locations in baseball players
- His recommended treatments of the elbow before heading for Tommy John surgery
- Common shoulder injuries he sees in baseball players and why some players have difficulty coming back from labral injuries
- Why seeing a good physical therapist that works with baseball players frequently is so important
- The pros and cons to getting an MRI in baseball players
- Interval return-to-throwing programs and why they are so important in baseball players
