American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines recommend selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) as first-line pharmacotherapy for premature ejaculation (PE).

However, few studies address the considerable variation in pubertal growth (timing, pace), knee mechanics, and injury susceptibility within sexes, or the impact of such growth variation on mechanical injury risk.
