Scripps Clinic Surgeon Explores Sports-Related Shoulder Injuries

The former head team physician for the Padres discussed a type of injury that Tatis reportedly has experienced multiple times this year: shoulder subluxations, in which the ball of the shoulder comes partially out of the socket and quickly returns back into place. Dr. Hoenecke explained risk factors and treatment options for athletes of all levels.
