Ausgesuchte Verletzungen bei Kindern und ­Adoleszenten: Klinische Aspekte und Therapieansätze für Sportärzte

Abstract

Children and adolescents are in a complex biological balance where their bodies are constantly changing and exposed to various forces. Hormonal changes during growth, especially during puberty, influence the growth and development of bones and muscles. Increased joint laxity in children can lead to unstable joints more prone to injuries. Injuries in children and adolescents often involve growth plates, apophyses, ligaments, and the meniscus. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to avoid potential complications and ensure the long-term health of young patients.
