Managing Stress Fractures and Growth Plate Injuries in Adolescents:
Adolescents participating in physical activities are susceptible to stress fractures and growth plate injuries due to the combined effects of growth spurts and repetitive strain. These injuries necessitate meticulous attention and management, particularly in teenagers who are still undergoing physical development.
When an Old Knee Injury Starts Acting Up: When to See an Orthopedic Specialist
Many active adults in South Florida carry a history of knee injuries from earlier in life—whether from sports, exercise, accidents, or previous procedures such as ACL or meniscus surgery. For years, the knee may feel perfectly fine. Then suddenly, during a workout, a round of golf, a tennis match, or even a long walk on the beach, that old injury starts to flare up again.
These growth plates are crucial for bone growth and eventually close as skeletal maturity is reached. When a fracture happens at the growth plate, it can disrupt normal bone development and lead to complications like limb length discrepancies or angular deformities if not properly treated.
