  4. Course • Patient told to rest his shoulder from throwing or other sporting activities to prevent further physeal injury • Return in three weeks for repeat x-ray and reassess whether he can return to practice • Diagnosis: Little Leaguer’s shoulder of the right shoulder • Radiographic Features • Little Leaguer’s Shoulder = Widening of the proximal humeral physis in adolescent athletes between the ages of 13 and 16 • Focal physeal widening of the anterior and lateral aspect of the right humeral proximal physis

  5. Differential Diagnosis • Posterosuperior glenoid impingement (PSGI) • occurs during the hyperextension phase of throwing • causing the posterosuperior edge of the glenoid labrum to catch between the humeral head and the rotator cuff • Salter-Harris type I
