Little League Shoulder

Background: Little League shoulder (LLS) is an overuse injury characterized by throwing-related pain that commonly presents in adolescent male athletes. Investigations into the optimal duration of rest from throwing and protocols for graduated return to sports (RTS) are lacking. Purpose: To summarize the current literature with respect to the diagnosis, management, RTS, and return to throwing for LLS. Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: The databases EMBASE, MEDLINE, and PubMed were searched between inception and April 22, 2020. References of retrieved records were reviewed for potentially eligible studies. English-language studies that reported the diagnosis and/or management of LLS in children or adolescents were included. Studies of animals or cadavers, review articles, and non—peer reviewed records were excluded. Data were summarized narratively using descriptive statistics. Results: Overall, 23 studies (21 level 4 studies, 2 level 3 studies) met the criteria for a total of 266 participants with a weighted mean age of 12.8 years (range, 7.4-17 years). Treatment recommendations evolved from prolonged rest and complete cessation of throwing to shorter periods of rest and graduated RTS. Less than half (11/23) of studies reported specific criteria to RTS; 1 case report discussed a coaching strategy to resume throwing, and 1 case report discussed a regimented throwing program. The proportion of participants returning to any sport participation was 94.0% (n = 157/167). The proportion returning to their preinjury level of sport was 92.5% (n = 123/133). Upon RTS, 18.7% (n = 35/187) of participants experienced a recurrence of symptoms. Premature closure of the epiphysis was reported in 1 participant. Conclusion: Young athletes with LLS may return to play after a period of rest, and a high proportion return to their preinjury level of sport. Further prospective studies are warranted to develop evidence-based, graduated RTS protocols and to better capture any long-term sequelae of the condition.

Little League Shoulder

Overuse injuries are undoubtedly one of the most frequent cause of pain in adolescent athletes which can result in limitation in sport activities and competition, prolonged pain and psychological consequences. We see different forms of this condition regarding the anatomical region at insertion sites of major tendons. Usually we treat conditions of the lower extremities like Osgood-Schlatter or Sinding-Larssen-Johansson disease. We diagnose less frequently overuse injuries of the upper extremities like Little League shoulder or elbow. Commonly they present with pain after activities and limitation in range of motion. Each form has to be treated slightly differently, initially with resting, followed by physical or local therapy. Besides presenting the most important and usual forms of traction apophysitis, we emphasize the aspects of prevention and point out some ideas regarding training techniques.
