Pediatric sports injuries

Pediatric sports injuries refer to injuries sustained by children and adolescents while participating in sports or physical activities. Their bodies are still developing, which can make them more susceptible to certain injuries, such as sprains, fractures, or overuse injuries. Common causes include improper training, lack of warm-up, and playing on hard surfaces. It's crucial for young athletes to engage in age-appropriate sports, use proper gear, and have adequate rest to prevent injuries. Early recognition and treatment of these injuries are essential for a child's overall health and can ensure a safe return to sports.
