Little League elbow is most often seen in young pitchers under the age of sixteen. The pitching motion causes a valgus stress to be placed on the inside of the elbow joint which can cause damage to the structures of the elbow, resulting in an avulsion (separation) of the medial epiphyseal plate (growth plate). [3]

[citation needed] The medial epicondyle is often the final growth plate (ossification center) to ossify in the elbow. Growth plates are particularly vulnerable to injury compared to bone.
