Bilateral osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow in a female pitcher
1University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, USA.
Abstract:
We report a case of a 17-year-old female pitcher with bilateral elbow osteochondritis dissecans. Osteochondritis of the elbow is a well-known disorder affecting pitchers and other individuals who sustain repetitive microtrauma to the elbow. Elbow osteochondritis has been described infrequently in female athletes. The incidence and reporting patterns of this disease are likely to increase as more female athletes participate in organized sports.
