Abstract

With recreational adolescent sports participants’ number at over 35 million and growing in the United States, the numbers of associated sports-related injuries are increasing with lower extremity injuries presenting more frequently for care than upper extremity injuries [1]. This chapter will touch on a number of these factors and identify some of the injury patterns that can assist the sports medicine physician with assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of the athlete child.
