Imaging of Pediatric Hip Disorders in the Young Athlete
Pediatric hip pain in young athletes encompasses a wide range of disorders related to skeletal immaturity and increasing athletic demands. Timely and accurate diagnosis is important, as delayed recognition may result in growth disturbanc...

Overuse Injuries of the Shoulder
Shoulder overuse injuries represent a broad and often overlapping spectrum shaped by repetitive loading, soft tissue adaptation, and changes in bone. Rather than distinct entities, they are better viewed along a continuum, where repeated...

Open DOI
Chronic Overuse Injuries in Young Athletes—Upper Extremity
Young athletes are uniquely susceptible to overuse injuries of the upper extremity because their open physes and apophyses are structurally weaker than adjacent bone, ligament, and tendon. Repetitive sport-specific loading—torsional stre...

Chronic Overuse Injuries of the Lower Extremity in Young Athletes: Imaging Features and Diagnostic Considerations
Early sports specialization and increased training demands have contributed to a rising incidence of chronic overuse injuries in young athletes. These conditions present diagnostic challenges because their clinical and imaging findings m...

Back to the Basics: When Radiographs Solve the Case
Myositis ossificans circumscripta is a benign, self-limiting heterotopic ossification usually occurring after a traumatic event. Our case describes a rare etiology given the occurrence after vaccination in a child. Indeed, to date, only ...

Wrist and Hand Overuse Injuries with a Special Focus on Soft Tissue Involvement
Overuse injuries of the hand and wrist result from repetitive use or recurrent direct trauma, most often related to work or sports involving repetitive movements and weight-bearing. These stress-induced injuries affect a wide range of ti...

Pediatric Overuse Injuries
The incidence of pediatric overuse injuries is increasing in proportion to rising participation and training intensity in youth sports worldwide. The growing musculoskeletal system of children and adolescents makes them susceptible to a ...

Overuse Injuries of the Hip and Pelvis: Apophysitis, Stress Fractures, and Tendinopathies
Hip and pelvic overuse injuries are a frequent source of pain and lost playing time in athletes and may be challenging to diagnose because of overlapping symptoms and complex regional anatomy. Injury patterns vary according to skeletal m...

Multifocal Osseous and Soft Tissue Blastomycosis Infection
A 15-year-old male with no significant medical history presented with a 4-month history of bilateral wrist pain and a 2-month history of rapidly growing, spontaneously ulcerating bilateral volar wrist nodules. He denied fevers, fatigue, ...
