Abstract

With increasing pediatric participation in organized sport and the early specialization of children in single sports, the number of injuries seen in the pediatric and adolescent athletic population continues to increase. Children experience acute traumatic injuries during practice and competition as well as chronic overuse injuries secondary to the repetitive stress on their developing bodies. The unique nature of the pediatric patient often requires a different diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment approach to sports injuries compared with their adult counterparts.
