Recent Advances in Pediatric Sports Medicine
Abstract:
As the field of pediatric sports medicine continues to evolve, there are several advances in the management of anterior cruciate ligament tears, tibial spine fractures, juvenile osteochondritis dissecans, and patellar instability. The role of limb alignment and guided growth is increasingly recognized as an important determinant of clinical outcomes. It is important to review the latest information on each of these injuries and conditions, based on recently published studies and current practices.
