Abstract
Overuse injuries are well described for both upper and lower extremities among skeletally immature athletes. To our knowledge, there is no description in the literature of an overuse injury affecting the medial tibial physis that is different from the typical Osgood-Schlatter disease or tibial tubercle apophysitis. In this article we present a 13-year-old athlete with medial proximal tibial widening or epiphysiolysis from overuse playing soccer. We need to be aware that with increased early sports specialization we may see injuries we have not seen before. [Orthopedics. 2022;46(6):e345-e347.].
