    Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum is prevalent in young throwing athletes, affecting approximately 3% of adolescent baseball players.

  • 2

    Early detection of OCD in the radiolucent stage significantly increases the success rate of conservative treatment, with 90% healing reported.

  • 3

    Ultrasonography is a noninvasive screening tool for OCD, offering advantages over X-ray and MRI in detecting early-stage lesions.

  • 4

    Deep learning models, including YOLO and VGG16, have been proposed to enhance the detection of OCD in ultrasound images, improving diagnostic accuracy.

  • 5

    The study aims to support non-specialized medical professionals in screening for OCD, facilitating early detection and treatment.
