Abstract
|
|
|
The avulsion of the subscapularis apophyseal plate or lesser tuberosity in patients with skeletal immaturity is a rare occurrence.
These sports-related injuries have been reported in hockey, lacrosse, baseball, football, wrestling, and soccer.
The incidence of injury in younger patients has increased with greater participation in athletic activity, but subscapularis apophyseal plate avulsion or lesser tuberosity avulsion fractures are frequently missed. Delayed diagnosis inevitably results in nonunion, chronic shoulder pain, and functional deterioration. Here, we present a case of a subscapularis apophyseal plate avulsion fracture that occurred at 12 years of age and was neglected for 10 years. This case report aimed to draw attention to the importance of accurate diagnosis and early treatment for subscapularis apophyseal plate avulsion fracture.
