The traction apophysitises

L J Micheli. Clin Sports Med. 1987 Apr.

Abstract

The traction apophysitises are one of the frequently encountered overuse injuries to children. Although known for many years and classed as osteochondroses, the traumatic origin of these disorders--from repetitive microtrauma--is now receiving wider acceptance. Discussion of the assessment, treatment, and prevention of these disorders is included.
