Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Will Kang explains exactly what to watch for before it's too late. In this episode, Dr. Kang breaks down the three most career-threatening injuries for players over 50 — tennis elbow, rotator cuff tears, and knee degeneration — and delivers some hard truths your regular doctor probably hasn't told you. What you'll learn: → Why your tennis elbow brace is making things WORSE (and the simple band exercise that fixes it) → The truth about rotator cuff pain — why it's often a \"red herring\" and what it's really telling you → The meniscus surgery warning every senior player needs to hear before going under the knife → How injury patterns change as your game improves — and what that means for protecting your knees → Why replacing one joint sets off a cascade of problems in nearby joints The Copenhagen Heart Study says tennis adds 10 years to your life. But only if you're still playing. Dr. Will Kang is an orthopedic surgeon and founder of Black Tie Orthopedics, a practice specializing in non-operative treatment of tennis injuries.
