Orthopedic Care for Young Athletes: Injury Prevention and Recovery
Young athletes face a unique set of challenges and risks when it comes to sports injuries. Growth and immature skeletons can make younger athletes more vulnerable to a special set of injury types. Providing children and teens with the right orthopedic care and injury prevention strategies is crucial for their long-term health and development. This blog discusses the importance of orthopedic care for young athletes and how to keep them safe and healthy.
Musculoskeletal injuries are the most common injuries in youth sports. Children of the same chronological age may vary considerably in biological maturity which can create unbalanced competition in team as well as one on one sports.
Lower limbs are more frequently involved and injuries during practice are nearly 3x more common than during competition.
Common Injuries in Young Athletes:
- Growth Plate Injuries: Injuries to the more fragile growing ends of bones can affect bone development and require special care in order to heal correctly without deformity.
- Overuse Injuries: Repeated stress on bones and muscles can lead to conditions such as stress fractures, chronic muscle pain and soreness that can adversely affect performance. An imbalance between strength and flexibility can contribute to higher risk in this age group.
- Concussions: Head injuries from contact sports are a significant concern and require immediate attention.
Preventive Measures:
- Proper Training: Ensure young athletes receive proper training and guidance on how to avoid injuries. Coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists and gym trainers are vitally important.
- Appropriate Equipment: Use age-appropriate and sports-specific protective gear such as helmets, elbow and knee pads, and mouth guards to minimize the risk of injury.
- Balanced Activity: Encourage a variety of activities to prevent overuse injuries and promote overall physical development, balance and skills. The best athletes are often those who participate in a wide variety of activities and don’t ‘specialize’ in one sport too soon in development.
Orthopedic Care:
At Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates, we specialize in pediatric and young adult orthopedic and rehabilitative care. From injury prevention to treatment and rehabilitation, our team is dedicated to helping your child stay healthy and active.

[post_content] => In a recent announcement, Monadnock Community Hospital revealed an innovative expansion to enhance its rehabilitation services. Faced with a growing demand and limited space within the Bond Wellness Center, the hospital has invested $300,000 in adding outdoor athletic turf and rubberized matting behind the center. The expansion, totaling 3,500 square feet, comes as a solution to accommodate a 23 percent increase in patients since 2018.

[post_content] => Part of the Health & Wellness Seminars at Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH)
Common Shoulder Problems and At-Home Solutions Seminar
October 12, 2023 at Monadnock Community Hospital
Presenter: Dr. Shawn P. Harrington, MD, FAAPMR
Part of the Health & Wellness Seminars at Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH)
Dr. Harrington has been this community’s Physiatrist and Musculoskeletal Specialist at Monadnock Orthopaedic Associates for the past two decades. He will review common shoulder pains we all experience, some options for self-care, and reasons to seek medical consultation. This workshop is directed toward anyone with interest in or personal experience with shoulder pain, whether from wear-and-tear, an old injury, athletics, or aging. Interactive discussion is welcome.
Dr. Harrington’s practice as a board-certified Musculoskeletal Physician is grounded in thorough diagnostic evaluation and treatment with 20 years of experience. He seeks to define a problem and then offers options and choices to guide patients toward a course of treatment all parties can agree on, leading to the best possible outcome. Recognizing that not every first choice leads to success, he establishes plans with patients that help bring about their goals.
