In pediatric patients, musculoskeletal overuse injuries are common clinical complaints. Recently, the number of youth who are engaged in formal competition has increased. A National Council of Youth Sports survey found that 60 million children aged 6 to 18 yr participate in some form of organized athletics. Surveillance reporting systems, such as the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance System and the High School Reporting Information Online (high school RIO), an Internet-based sports injury surveillance tool, have suggested an increase in the rates of overuse injuries. This article will focus on potential risk factors for overuse injuries, including those that are intrinsic and extrinsic in youth athletes. We also make note of some of the more common overuse injuries seen in the outpatient clinical setting, their diagnoses, and treatment based on current evidence-based literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
