Physeal injuries in children’s and youth sports: reasons for concern?

TLDR
A systematic review of the literature on the frequency and characteristics of sports related growth plate injuries affecting children and youth in organised sport found most physeal injuries appeared to resolve with treatment and rest.
Abstract
A systematic review of the literature on the frequency and characteristics of sports related growth plate injuries affecting children and youth in organised sport was carried out. Both acute and chronic physeal injuries related to participation in sports have been reported to occur, although injury incidence data are somewhat limited. Of particular concern is the growing number of stress related physeal injuries, including those affecting the lower extremities. Although most physeal injuries appeared to resolve with treatment and rest, there is also evidence of growth disturbance and deformity. Possible injury risk factors and countermeasures are discussed, and suggestions for directing future research provided.

The Cam-type Deformity of the Proximal Femur Arises in Childhood in Response to Vigorous Sporting Activity

TL;DR: A high intensity of sports activity during adolescence is associated with a substantial increase in the risk of cam-type impingement and patients also may be at increased risk of subsequent development of secondary coxarthrosis.

An assessment of maturity from anthropometric measurements.

TL;DR: Although the cross-validation meets statistical standards for acceptance, caution is warranted with regard to implementation and it is recommended that maturity offset be considered as a categorical rather than a continuous assessment.

Risk factors for sports injuries--a methodological approach.

TL;DR: The methodology for studies designed to investigate potential risk factors for sports injury is reviewed, using the case of hamstring strains as an example, and it is found that studies published to date are too small to detect small to moderate associations.
