Abstract

Musculoskeletal injuries are the most common injuries in youth sports. A number of growth-related factors unique to the adolescent age group play an important role in the epidemiology, types, and management of these injuries. These mainly relate to the physical and psychosocial growth and development during adolescence and are discussed in this article. Overuse injuries are more commonly seen in this age group in the primary care setting. Shoulder impingement, elbow and shoulder injuries related to throwing, stress injuries of the wrist, spondylolysis, and anterior knee pain are some of the overuse injuries reviewed in this article.
