Abstract
The skeletally immature athlete sustains upper extremity injuries unique to the epiphyseal plate, articular cartilage, musculotendinous units, and specific to the sport itself. Specific shoulder and elbow conditions can be predicted based on the biomechanics of the sport and age of the patient. In the young athlete, recognition of these unique injury patterns with early activity modification and treatment can prevent permanent deformity and functional disability.
