Negative ulnar variance

[left turn]

I had a 9yr old once whose back was getting a slight tilt. Parents told the DR she was a pitcher so the Dr told them to also put her other sports to equal out her activity on both sides. So they put her in tennis. I guess she didn't like swimming.

JoJo, your example is really interesting. When my DD was 10U she played with a young lady that was a standout as a pitcher and tennis player. She hurt her shoulder and hasn't played softball since.

MandM, yes, the orthopedist ran through this information. She will start therapy very soon. Also she was cleared to play the field and hit and we have 3 or 4 more tourneys left. So she will not be idle. The Dr. said strengthening the muscles in the forearm and hands will prevent the issue from recurring.

That is good news and I wish her a speedy recovery!
