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

- 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.
