In brief: Athletic injuries among children often fall into the category of overuse, with mechanisms similar to overuse injuries in adults. However, the implications for young, growing athletes are much different because the growth plates are involved, resulting in such problems as traction apophysitis and Little League elbow. Early, appropriate intervention, which sometimes includes cessation of certain athletic activity, can prevent potential long-term complications in growing athletes.
儿童运动损伤通常属于过度使用的范畴，其机制与成年人的过度使用损伤相似。然而，对于年轻的成长型运动员来说，情况则大不相同，因为涉及生长板，会导致诸如牵拉骨骺炎和少年棒球肘等问题。早期的适当干预，有时包括停止某些运动活动，可以防止成长型运动员出现潜在的长期并发症。
