Overuse injuries are now well known to sports enthusiasts at any age or level of competition. The seeming explosion of overuse stress fractures of lower extremity bones in high-profile professional basketball players has brought about widespread media attention and a better understanding of the phenomenon of "overuse syndrome" by the public. However, the spectrum of overuse injuries in the child or adolescent athlete has only recently been recognized. These injuries can range from the permanent disability of osteochondritis dissecans of the elbow to the completely nonspecific "growing pains" of active youngsters.
过度使用损伤如今已为各年龄段或各竞赛水平的体育爱好者所熟知。备受瞩目的职业篮球运动员下肢骨骼过度使用应力性骨折的明显激增，引发了媒体的广泛关注，公众也对“过度使用综合征”这一现象有了更好的理解。然而，儿童或青少年运动员过度使用损伤的范围直到最近才得到认识。这些损伤的范围从肘部剥脱性骨软骨炎导致的永久性残疾到活跃青少年完全非特异性的“生长痛”。
