Overuse injuries in the young athlete.

ABSTRACT
- Overuse injuries in the young athlete now are seen more frequently. Using an adult model of these injuries with respect to diagnosis and treatment and applying it to the young athlete does not address many of the unique characteristics that contribute to these injuries. An overview of causative factors that contribute to overuse injuries in young athletes is presented. Examples of specific injuries seen only in this age group and the treatment of these injuries are presented.
