Young athletes and their injuries must be treated differently
than adult injuries. During a child’s growth
spurts, young athletes become more prone to injury because their bones grow at
a much faster rate than their tendons do. Also, the many demands of participation
in organized sports, may cause some youths to overuse parts of their bodies,
which may later develop into problems like Little-Leaguer’ s
elbow and shin splints, which are common injuries to a growing
athlete.
This portion of
our site provides vital information about common injuries
and medical situations. If at any time while treating an
injured athlete you are unsure of the directions provided,
call emergency medical personnel immediately to help. You
should always have professional medical assistance nearby,
just in case.
