A 14-year-old high school freshman presented to the office with long-standing left shoulder pain. One year prior to presentation he sustained a left proximal humerus fracture in a motorcycle accident, which was treated nonoperatively. After the fracture healed he performed 3 months of physical therapy, but continued to complain of a persistent non-localized pain. He reports difficulty using his left arm with all tasks, has pain that wakes him at night and rates his subjective shoulder value at 30%.

A 15-year-old female patient presented to the pediatric orthopedic surgery clinic 3 years status post in situ screw fixation of a stable, moderate right slipped capital femoral epiphysis with progressive right groin pain for 3 months. This resulted in her inability to participate in physical education at her school. The index slipped capital femoral epiphysis in situ screw fixation procedure was uncomplicated, and the patient was able to return to full activity following her operation.
