Description: A case of bilateral elbow osteochondritis dissecans in a female pitcher is presented. Osteochondritis of the elbow is a well known disorder affecting pitchers and other individuals that place high demands on their upper extremities. Elbow osteochondritis has been described infrequently in females. Increased participation of female athletes in organized sports is likely to increase the incidence and reporting pattern of this disease.
