Overuse syndrome of the wrist primarily affecting young gymnasts
May lead to premature closure of distal radial physis
Pathophysiology
wrist undergoes supraphysiological loads due to use as a weight bearing joint
repetitive stress causes inflammation at growth plate of distal radius
microtrauma can lead to premature closure of distal radial physis resulting in secondary overgrowth of ulna
