From court to care: Serving up fracture treatment for Phoenix pickleball players

Pickleball continues its incredible rise in America, increasing by 86% year-over-year and by an astonishing 159% over three years. With 8.9 million participants in 2022, there were more new players than the total number of players in 2021.
This increase in pickleball has unfortunately also made way for an increase in orthopedic fractures as well—one recent report showed a 90-fold increase since 2002 and a doubling of pickleball-related fractures since 2020.
