Abstract
The increasing involvement of children in sport and fitness related activity has been parallel by an increase in the frequency of sports-related childhood injury. Immature, open epiphyses, as well as soft articular cartilage predispose children to age-specific injury. An understanding of osseous development, normal radiologic variants, and the diagnosis and treatment of common elbow injuries in the pediatric population will assist the clinician who treats younger patients.
