- Abstract
The article reports on surgical stabilization of os acromiale in a fast-pitch softball pitcher. It is stated that of the reported cases of symptomatic os acromiale, there are few in which the pain resulted from involvement in sports. Although various authors affirm that an os micromiale can be symptomatic in throwing athletes, a search of the peer-reviewed English literature manifested only three cases. The case of a baseball catcher, who required a surgical fusion of the symptomatic os acromiale was mentioned. Also elaborated were the cases of a tennis player, and a 15-year-old football player.
