    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Pediatric Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Distal ulna physeal injuries are uncommon in adolescents.
    • Repetitive stress and acute trauma are potential etiological factors.

    Observation:

    • A case presentation of an adolescent break dancer with a distal ulna growth plate disorder.
    • Detailed clinical history and imaging findings are reviewed.

    Findings:

    • The study investigates the potential role of trauma in the pathogenesis of distal ulna growth plate disorders.
    • Analysis of the biomechanical forces involved in break dancing and their impact on the adolescent ulna.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering repetitive microtrauma in pediatric physeal injuries.
  • Informs prevention strategies and management of similar conditions in young athletes.
  • Contributes to understanding the long-term effects of sports-related injuries on bone development.
