Participation in youth sports is increasingly popular and has important and wide-ranging health benefits. However, year-round involvement in youth sport involves high levels of repetitive movement which may foster an environment where overuse injuries are likely to occur. Of particular concern are physeal stress injuries (PSIs) which are unique to skeletally immature athletes and are becoming common in youth sports. These injuries may be associated with substantial injury burden, especially at advanced levels of training and competition. In extreme cases, PSIs can progress to produce skeletal growth disturbance, which may necessitate surgical intervention and correction. This book summarizes the status of our knowledge on the occurrence, underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of PSIs affecting children and adolescents involved in various sports.
