Abstract
We report a rare case of distal ulnar physeal injury in Kendo players. A 14-year-old male complained of left wrist pain. Radiographs showed a distal ulnar physeal injury, which was judged to be Type I using the Salter-Harris classification system. He was treated conservatively with immobilization for about one month, and was prohibited from playing Kendo for approximately four months. After that time he returned to play Kendo with no complaints.
