New Study Finds Increase in Pediatric & Adolescent Orthopedic Injuries
Higher Among Boys
Researchers note more orthopedic youth injuries from sports, screen time, and lifestyle changes. The study also noted that the prevalence of orthopedic injuries in this age group is higher among boys than girls.
Lead Researchers on the Study
Dr. Varma emphasized the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment of orthopedic injuries in children and adolescents. “It’s crucial for parents, coaches, and healthcare providers to recognize signs of injuries to prevent long-term problems,” he stated.
Additional Research
Common orthopedic injuries in children and adolescents include fractures, sprains, and strains, along with conditions such as scoliosis and osteochondritis dissecans. The study also emphasized the need for further research to better understand the underlying causes of these injuries and to develop effective prevention strategies.
Work Together
Healthcare professionals and parents must collaborate to safeguard children from orthopedic injuries and promote the well-being of young patients. By encouraging regular exercise, proper training, and timely interventions, we can reduce the rates of orthopedic injuries while enhancing youth health.
