Intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus in youth: two case reports.

30 Aug 2009 Intercondylar fracture of the distal humerus in youth is an extremely rare injury. Three cases have been reported in the literature to date. We describe two cases, aged 15 and 14 years, both of whom were boys. The stability in this injury allowed ... Read more...

The effect of pitching biomechanics on the upper extremity in youth and adolescent baseball pitchers.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Increased pitch counts have been linked to increased complaints of shoulder and elbow pain in youth baseball pitchers. Improper pitching mechanics have not been shown to adversely affect the upper extremity in youth pitchers. HYPOTHESIS: ... Read more...

Effect of various forearm axially rotated postures on elbow load and elbow flexion angle in one-armed arrest of a forward fall.

27 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Falling onto the outstretched hand is a major cause of upper extremity injury. The overall objectives of this study were to develop an experimental model for elbow load during a simulated fall onto one-armed arrest using three different ... Read more...
