Prevalence of Capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans and Medial Epicondylar Abnormalities in Female Youth Baseball Players: A Large-Scale Ultrasonographic Screening Study

The authors aimed to determine the prevalence of capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) and medial epicondylar abnormalities in female youth baseball players, using a large-scale ultrasonographic screening study. They found that while capitellar OCD was less common in females compared to males, medial epicondylar abnormalities were present, particularly among pitchers and catchers, highlighting the need for routine screening and workload management for female athletes.
