Article Synopsis
- The study examines the long-term effects of Little League elbow (LLE) and Little League shoulder (LLS) on youth baseball and softball players, focusing on their recovery, competition return, and pain recurrence over five years post-treatment.
- Out of 61 participants diagnosed between 2013 and 2017, a significant majority (over 80%) returned to competition, though nearly 40% had to change positions, and less than half were still actively playing five years later.
- The recurrence rate of symptoms exceeded 20%, and those who experienced recurrence were less likely to continue playing and reported poorer outcomes, highlighting the challenges faced by young athletes after injuries like LLE and LLS.
