About Sports Medicine

Pediatric Orthopedic Sports Medicine is a specialized medical field focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing sports-related injuries and conditions in children and adolescents. This discipline recognizes that young athletes are not simply small adults; their growing bones, muscles, and tendons require unique, age-appropriate care. Specialists in this field manage a wide range of issues, from acute injuries like fractures and ligament tears (e.g., ACL) to overuse conditions such as Osgood-Schlatter disease and Little League elbow. The approach is holistic, combining precise diagnostic imaging, conservative treatments like physical therapy and bracing, and minimally invasive surgical techniques when necessary. The ultimate goal is to ensure a safe return to play while safeguarding the child's long-term musculoskeletal health and development.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

Priya Patel is a 14-year-old competitive...

Priya Patel is a 14-year-old competitive gymnast who trains 20 hours a week. For months, she had persistent pain in her lower back that worsened with backbends and vaulting. An MRI revealed a stress fracture in her L5 vertebra (spondylolysis), a common overuse injury in young athletes. Her pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended she stop all impact and hyperextension activities immediately and prescribed a Boston Overlap brace to immobilize her spine for 3-4 months to allow the bone to heal. Priya was devastated; she felt her identity was tied to gymnastics and feared falling behind her peers. The treatment was challenging, wearing the brace was uncomfortable and she felt isolated from her team. However, with dedicated physical therapy to maintain core strength safely, and the support of her family and a sports psychologist, she adhered to the plan. After 4 months, a follow-up CT scan showed solid healing. She was gradually reintroduced to training. Priya's emotional journey was one of initial grief and frustration, but she learned resilience, the importance of listening to her body, and discovered new interests. She returned to the gym with a healthier perspective and a renewed passion, now pain-free.
