Abstract
When compared with adults, children have unique injury patterns secondary to their anatomical differences. The susceptibility of the growth plate to injury is well-documented. "Little Leaguer's shoulder" is the term used for injury to the open proximal humeral epiphysis in the Little League pitcher. We present a case report and literary review. Discussed are the possible etiologies, patient presentation, physical exam, radiographic findings, and treatment recommendations.Entities:
