Soccer is the most popular sport worldwide, and it is associated with high injury rates, with most of these injuries occurring in the lower extremities. Particularly, in youth soccer players with immature skeleton, the physeal plate is two to five times weaker than the surrounding fibrous structures, and therefore more vulnerable to injury. The physeal plate consists of epiphyses and apophyses, with the former serving as tendon attachment sites and being subject to traction forces.

- - Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are inherited disorders caused by enzyme deficiencies leading to harmful accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in various body tissues, often causing skeletal and joint problems.
- - This study explores four male patients with type II MPS who, aged 14 to 35, presented with joint stiffness and carpal tunnel syndrome, undergoing seven MRI exams of joints including the spine and knee.
- - MRI results showed significant thickening of capsuloligamentous structures, with measurements up to eight times greater than what is considered normal, highlighting a previously undocumented imaging feature in MPS patients.
