Pediatric athletes commonly sustain hip and pelvis injuries, often soft tissue or apophyseal types treatable nonoperatively. Advanced imaging and hip arthroscopy improve diagnosis and treatment of internal hip derangements.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Pediatric sports medicine
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Hip and pelvis injuries in pediatric athletes are increasingly recognized.
  • Most common injuries include soft tissue and apophyseal injuries, typically managed nonoperatively.
  • Underlying pediatric hip conditions can present unique injury patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common hip and pelvis injuries in pediatric athletes.
  • To highlight the impact of advanced diagnostic and surgical techniques.
  • To discuss unique injury presentations in specific pediatric hip disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pediatric hip and pelvis injuries.
  • Discussion of common injury types and their management.

  • Emphasis on conditions like slipped capital femoral epiphysis and Legg-Perthes disease.
  • Exploration of advancements in hip arthroscopy and MR arthrography.

    • Main Results:

    • Soft tissue and apophyseal injuries are prevalent and usually respond to conservative treatment.
    • Internal derangements like labral tears, loose bodies, and chondral injuries are increasingly diagnosed.
    • Slipped capital femoral epiphysis and Legg-Perthes disease present distinct injury patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonoperative management is effective for the majority of pediatric hip and pelvis injuries.
    • Modern imaging and arthroscopic techniques enhance the diagnosis and treatment of internal hip derangements.
    • Awareness of underlying hip conditions is crucial for managing complex injuries in pediatric athletes.
