Background: There is still much that we do not know about differences in sports injuries between young male and female athletes the factors may increase risk for this regard. Purpose: To describe compare males females pediatric sports-related injuries. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed using a 5% random sampling (N = 2133) medical records children aged 5 to 17 years seen over 10 medicine clinic at large academic...
Background: Significant knowledge deficits exist regarding sports injuries in the young child. Children continue to engage physically demanding, organized a greater extent despite lack of physical readiness, predisposing themselves injury. Purpose: To evaluate sustained very children (5-12 years) versus their older counterparts (13-17 with regard type and location injuries, severity, diagnosis. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective chart review was...
Abstract Although evidence indicates that muscular fitness is foundational for ongoing participation in active play, exercise and sport, current national international youth physical activity guidelines underplay the critical importance of strength-building activities during this developmental phase life. In view troubling trends today's youth, specific recommendations to address neuromuscular deficiencies are required. An understanding multidimensional development inactivity needed have...
Objective: To examine male-female differences in pediatric overuse sports injuries. Study Design: Cross-sectional epidemiological study. Setting: Tertiary level medicine division a large academic medical center. Participants: Five percent probability sample of patients 5 to 17 years seen from January 1, 2000 December 31, 2009. About 3813 charts reviewed. Final study cohort included 1614 patients. Intervention: Nonlinear decomposition analysis Main Outcome Measures: Age, body mass index,...
Limited data exist regarding the effect of growth process on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk in male versus female children.The proportion ACL injuries/sports injuries presenting to clinic will vary by age, sex, and body mass index (BMI).Cross-sectional epidemiologic study.Level 3.The study group consisted a randomly selected 5% probability sample all children 5 17 years age sports medicine from January 1, 2000 December 31, 2009; 2133 charts were reviewed. Data collected...
Postural stability is often affected by sport-related injuries and subsequently evaluated during postinjury examinations. Intrinsic factors, however, may also affect postural control. We sought to compare the control of female male athletes as measured simultaneously (1) modified balance error scoring system (mBESS) (2) a video-force plate system.Cross-sectional study.Sports injury prevention center.Pediatric, adolescent, young adult who performed mBESS an evaluation.We compared athletes....
Sport specialization, which may be considered year-round training in a single sport, is growing trend youth athletes. Early sport specialization contribute to injury risk. The dynamic effects of maturation on reduced neuromuscular control amplified young athletes who specialize sport. purpose this study was investigate if associated with increased proliferation aberrant biomechanics during maturational development adolescent female Seventy-nine sport-specialized basketball, soccer, and...
Objective: (1) To investigate the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of slipping rib syndrome in athletes; (2) to hooking maneuver for diagnosis syndrome. Design: Retrospective chart review 362 athletes with pain. Setting: Pediatric-based sports medicine clinic between January 1, 1999, March 2014. Patients: Costochondritis, Tietze, fractures, tip syndrome, unclear diagnoses were excluded. Athletes included who had a palpable subluxation, mechanical symptom, positive maneuver, or...
Background: Understanding the challenges and potential of telehealth visits (THVs) in a large population can inform future practice policy discussion for pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine (OSM) care. We comprehensively assess OSM based on access, visit completion, patient satisfaction, technological challenges. Methods: Demographics, address, insurance, information, feedback, experience with video visits, technical all 2019 to 2020 at our hospital were assessed (3,278,006 visits)....
The purpose of this study was to analyze characteristics dance injuries evaluated by sports medicine physicians.A cross-sectional epidemiological a 5% random probability sample patients presenting for evaluation between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2009.Sports clinic tertiary-level pediatric medical center.A total 181 dancers (171 female 10 male; 14.8 ± 2.0 years age) with 222 injuries.Injury diagnoses, location, type, treatment.Forty-six injury diagnoses were recorded in dancers, the...
Despite the widely recognized benefits of daily play, recreation, sports, and physical education on psychosocial well-being children adolescents, many contemporary adolescents worldwide do not meet recommendations for activity (PA). The decline in PA seems to start early life, which leads conditions characterized by reduced levels pediatric population that are inconsistent with current public health recommendations. Unlike other diseases disorders pediatrics, inactivity youth is unique it...
Recent studies indicated greater risk of overuse injuries among young female athletes than their male counterparts. However, few have focused on and the effect single-sport participation lower extremity injuries.The objective this study is to identify an independent variable for based status sport participations (single- multisports) in athletes.In cross-sectional study, 12-18-year-old were asked complete electronic questionnaires describing current previous injury history. Range motion...
Hip injury among young athletes is increasing, especially hip labral tears. Some tears may require surgical intervention, if they are associated with boney pathology such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). A protocol for nonoperative treatment of the not well established.To identify current options, comorbidities, sports participation, and outcomes adolescent who were diagnosed tears.Retrospective chart review.A regional tertiary level medical academic institution.Physically active 8- to...
Abstract Background Hip microinstability has gained attention recently as a potential cause of hip pain. Currently there is lack evidence-based objective diagnostic criteria surrounding this diagnosis. Previous studies have shown translation the femoral head during extreme positions. However, reliable assessment lacking. Questions/purposes (1) How precise musculoskeletal ultrasound for measuring anterior apprehension test? (2) What intra- and interrater reliability dynamic ultrasonography in...
