Common Types of Adolescent Injuries:
- Growth Plate Injuries: These injuries occur at the ends of bones and are common during growth spurts. They require careful assessment and management to prevent long-term complications.
- Overuse Injuries: Due to the demands of sports and physical activities, adolescents are susceptible to overuse injuries like stress fractures, tendonitis, and apophysitis (inflammation at the attachment of tendons to growing bones).
- ACL Tears and Knee Injuries: With increased participation in sports, adolescents may experience ligament injuries, particularly to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which can be effectively managed through physiotherapy.
- Osgood-Schlatter Disease: This is a common condition characterised by pain and swelling just below the knee joint, often seen in active adolescents.
- Scoliosis and Postural Issues: Adolescence is a critical time for addressing spinal alignment and posture to ensure healthy growth and development.
