Abstract

In this time when physical prowess has been elevated to such a high level, the prepubescent and adolescent athlete have increased demands for performance placed on their immature musculoskeletal system. Although improved skills may result the athlete is exposed to more injury. Prompt, appropriate treatment of the injury with a controlled return to participation may prevent reinjury and disability. To this end, athletes, parents, coaches, trainers, and team physicians must maintain a close rapport for the benefit of the athlete.
