Team approach: a necessity for treating young athletes
Abstract:
The high school years, when viewed as the beginning of an athletic career, can be the most crucial period in an athlete's life. Thorough, proper, and professional medical care at this level is essential; improper management of the developing athlete can seriously impair the individual's future in competitive sports. This paper describes a case extending over an 18-month period involving a young athlete who experienced recurring pain and distress in the left groin. Continued acceptance of the pain as a simple muscular strain precluded a thorough examination of the case history and the disorder itself. Thus, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment were made more difficult.J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1980;2(2):69-71.
