Sports injuries in the immature athlete

E M Wojtys. Orthop Clin North Am. 1987 Oct.

The care of the pediatric athlete should not be viewed as caring for small adults. Growing bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles respond differently to stress. Proper training and conditioning can remedy most problems in the immature athlete.
