Abstract
(Purpose)We studied the treatment of little league shoulder clinically and radiographically. (Materials and methods)We examined 43 shoulders to compare the clinical findings with the widening of the proximal humeral epiphyseal plates radiographically.
(Results)The healing time when there was a restriction i n throwing, was on average within 3 months for the 1mm widening group and within 6 months on average for the 2-4mm widening group.
(Conclusion)There should be a connection between coaches, trainers and doctors, which do es not always mean there has to be a long discontinuance of throwing until radiographical healing.
