Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Little Leaguer's shoulder is an overuse injury affecting skeletally immature athletes.
  • It is characterized by widening of the proximal humeral physis.
  • While known to orthopedists, it is underrepresented in radiologic literature.

Observation:

  • This report details a specific case of Little Leaguer's shoulder in a young patient.
  • The case presentation includes relevant clinical and imaging findings.

Findings:

  • The primary finding is widening of the proximal humeral physis.
  • Radiographic evidence supports the diagnosis of this specific overuse injury.

Implications:

  • Increased radiologic reporting of Little Leaguer's shoulder is needed.
  • Enhanced awareness can improve diagnosis and management in pediatric athletes.
  • This case contributes to the radiologic understanding of this common sports injury.
