Panner disease

Panner disease is an osteochondrosis of the capitellum of the elbow. It causes pain and stiffness in the affected elbow and may limit extension. On radiographs, the capitulum may appear irregular with areas of radioluceny. Treatment is symptomatic, with a good prognosis. It is primarily seen in children between five and ten years old. The disease is named after the Danish radiologist Hans Jessen Panner (1871–1930).
