Article Synopsis
- Increased participation in youth sports is beneficial for health but raises concerns about overuse injuries, particularly in bones' growth centers.
- Common overuse injuries include little league shoulder and elbow, which can lead to decreased throwing performance, and they require adherence to Major League Baseball's Pitch Smart guidelines for prevention and rehab.
- Other injuries affecting young athletes include gymnast's wrist, spondylolysis, and various knee conditions, with conservative treatments like physical therapy being effective for most of them.
