“…For MSK conditions caused by injury, the mantra ‘rest, ice, compression and elevation’ is often recommended, although existing evidence is equivocal 7 . Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and physical therapy also play an important role in recovery 8 . For chronic inflammatory conditions, steroids and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) have become the standard of care, but many children are left with pain despite outward evidence that inflammation has been suppressed 9 .…”

Objectives Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is common in children, but its use has only been investigated in children with musculoskeletal conditions (MSK) to a limited extent. We aimed to characterize factors associated with CAM use in children with MSK conditions. Methods Within the 2012 National Health Interview Survey dataset (including its child CAM supplement), we examined factors associated with CAM use in children with MSK conditions and performed an analysis examining the perceived usefulness of CAM therapies for MSK conditions. Results Overall, there were 10,218 children in the dataset. 28.0% of children with MSK conditions used CAM, compared to 8.8% of children without MSK conditions. Gender (p = 0.003), region (p = 0.001), race (p = 0.001), parental CAM use (p <0.001), education (<0.001), and having anxiety, stress or depression (p = 0.030) were correlated with CAM use. Among 90 children who reported on CAM use, 89.7% said that CAM helped some or a great deal for their MSK condition. Conclusions Several factors, particularly parental education and parental CAM use, were associated with CAM use, and self-reported improvement rates were high. Interventional trials are needed to determine the efficacy of specific CAM therapies for treating different MSK conditions in children.

“…The shoulder is among the most common sites of injuries in pediatric athletes (17,18). Acute injuries are usually seen in contact sports, such as football, wrestling, and hockey, whereas chronic overuse injuries are common in swimmers and baseball and tennis players (17,19). Common acute injury patterns seen in contact sports, such as midclavicular fractures, fractures of the humeral shaft, acromioclavicular separation, and glenohumeral dislocation, are similar to the same injuries seen in adults.…”

Increased physical activity in childhood has resulted in a large number of sports-related injuries. Although there is overlap between the sports-related injuries seen in pediatric and adult patients, important differences exist in the injury patterns of pediatric patients. These differences are related to the continuous changes in the developing skeleton and its relationship with adjacent soft tissues. The imbalance in strength between the growing bones and the nearby tendons and ligaments makes the bones prone to acute and chronic injuries. Acute injuries are more common in contact sports such as football and wrestling, whereas chronic injuries are often seen in baseball pitchers and gymnasts. Acute injuries unique to pediatric athletes include physeal fractures of the proximal and distal portions of the clavicle (periosteal sleeve fracture), the proximal humeral physis, and the coracoid process, as well as supracondylar, lateral condylar, and medial condylar fractures around the elbow. Chronic injuries, most commonly caused by repetitive microtrauma, include acromial apophyseolysis, Little Leaguer's shoulder, the constellation of findings seen in Little Leaguer's elbow, and injuries to the medial, lateral, and posterior elbow compartments. In addition, trochlear osteochondral lesions, gymnast's wrist, and rock climber's finger are less-common injuries that may be seen in children. In this article, the normal osseous development of the upper extremity is reviewed, with emphasis on the structures that are most commonly injured. The pathophysiology, imaging appearance, and imaging findings of pediatric athletic injuries are described, along with the prognostic implications. RSNA, 2016.

Overuse injuries in pediatric athletes

Abstract: In summary, because the number of these injuries is on the rise, it is important for the physician to be aware of the clinical manifestations of overuse injuries, to prescribe current recommended treatments, and to educate patients in proper athletic conditioning.
