Pediatric Considerations in Sports-Specific Injuries

  • Chapter
Imaging in Sports-Specific Musculoskeletal Injuries

  • 2409 Accesses

Abstract

The pediatric musculoskeletal system has many distinct differences from the adult musculoskeletal system. Because of the anatomic and physiologic differences and the differences in sports training methods and sports participation between children and adults, the spectrum of injuries incurred by the pediatric athlete is unique. This chapter focuses on those injuries that are peculiar to the pediatric musculoskeletal system but includes “adult” injuries where they have particular relevance to pediatric patients.
