2021 Annual Meeting Pediatrics Access Pass-Questions and Answers: Pediatric Issues In Sports Medicine

Questions and Answers: Pediatric Issues In Sports Medicine

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion centers on ACL repair, OCD lesion surgery, and sports injuries in youth athletes. Experts acknowledge a learning curve in ACL repair, emphasizing careful patient selection and the potential role of additional procedures. Surgical treatment for stable OCD lesions targets those failing non-operative care, with ongoing data collection on conservative management. Novel techniques to assess muscle fatigue and injury mechanisms, like glycogen evaluation via ultrasound, are explored. Questions address the causes of cam morphology and the relationship between muscle fatigue and ligament injury, highlighting the complexity and need for further research to optimize treatments and injury prevention in young athletes.
