This article reviews the injury risk and patterns of childhood athletic injuries, including types of injuries, anatomic location of injuries, variations of injuries between the sexes, and sports-specific injuries, compared with adult sports. It is hoped that increased knowledge and awareness will permit the growing population of adolescent and preadolescent athletes to participate successfully and safely in their chosen sport and that early and accurate diagnosis will speed their return to their sport after injury.

Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is a common cause of lateral knee pain, particularly among runners, military personnel, and cyclists. It is considered an overuse syndrome that usually is treated successfully with a conservative approach. Biomechanical and training factors play a large role in the development of ITBFS, but its exact etiology is somewhat elusive.

Intra-articular temperatures of the knee in sports - An in-vivo study of jogging and alpine skiing Christoph Becher , Jan Springer , Sven Feil , Giuliano Cerulli and Hans H Paessler BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders 2008, 9:46 Abstract with link to full text
Conclusion This study demonstrates different changes of intra-articular and skin temperatures during sports in jogging and alpine skiing and suggests that changes are related to activity and ambient temperature.

Blazina et al first used the term jumper's knee in 1973 to describe an insertional tendinopathy seen in skeletally mature athletes. Jumper's knee usually affects the attachment of the patellar tendon to the inferior patellar pole. The definition was subsequently widened to include tendinopathy of the attachment of the quadriceps tendon to the superior patellar pole or tendinopathy of the attachment of the patellar tendon to the anterior tuberosity of the tibia. The term jumper's knee implies functional stress overload due to jumping.

Swimmer's shoulder is the term used to describe the problem of shoulder pain in the competitive swimmer. Swimming is an unusual sport in that the shoulders and upper extremities are used for locomotion, while at the same time requiring above average shoulder flexibility and range of motion (ROM) for maximal efficiency. This is often associated with an undesirable increase in joint laxity. Furthermore, it is performed in a fluid medium, which offers more resistance to movement than air. This combination of unnatural demands can lead to a spectrum of overuse injuries seen in the swimmer's shoulder, the most common of which is rotator cuff tendinitis.
