Four cases of an unusual angulation deformity of the radial head were seen in juvenile baseball players, with or without associated lesions of osteochondritis in the contiguous capitellum of the humerus and loose-body formation. The established deformity did not show a tendency toward anatomical restitution. In each case, symptoms produced by this deformity were noted to appear in association with athletic activity.
