Pediatric Upper Extremity Injuries in Sports Part 2

Course overview

How is the pediatric athlete different from the older, or skeletally mature, athlete? Over the last three of the four decades, sports injuries in adolescent youth have skyrocketed. Over a quarter of all childhood injuries are due to sports. In Part Two of this two-part series on pediatric upper extremity injuries in sports, participants will learn to identify common pathologies affecting the elbow complex and wrist, hand injuries, and general ligamentous laxity in pediatric athletes. Dr. Michael Fink demonstrates assessment and treatment techniques of these pathologies with a young throwing athlete. Upon completion of this course, participants will have knowledge of select assessment and rehab techniques for these conditions.
