Outline
• Definition/Background• Case Studies• Prevention
![Page 4: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Differential Diagnosis
• Benign Musculoskeletal Pain of Childhood• Hypermobility Syndrome• Apophysitis/Apophyseal Injuries
![Page 5: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Benign Musculoskeletal Pain of Childhood
• Pain does not occur with activity• Pain usually occurs at night• Pain of the thighs, knees, or calves• Pain is relieved with massage and OTC• Active child/PE is normal
![Page 6: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hypermobility syndrome
• 5-10% of population• Females greater than
males• Genu Recurvatum/Elbow
hyperextension/Marshall stage V for thumb opposition
![Page 7: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Apophyseal Injuries
• Muscle/tendon/bone friction/inflammation• Severity of pain related to muscle
imbalances, tightness, and specific sports and movement patterns
• Extremely common but not often talked about
![Page 8: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

At night During/After Activity During activity and at rest
Less than 10 years of age
10-16 6-18
No swelling Swelling and pinpoint tenderness
No swelling, diffuse tenderness
Massage and NSAID’s Decrease Impact activity/Flexibility/Core strength

years• If stretching/strengthening is not instituted
pain may persist for up to two years• With proper exercise pain becomes minimal
1 month into treatment.

Management
• No sprinting or kicking for 2-4 weeks• Bike 3 times per day, hip flexor, hamstring,
quad stretching, core stability• Ice afterwards
![Page 39: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Other Teaching Points• If have “Osgood Schlatter and Sever’s at same time, think of JRA or
spondyloarthropathy• About 1% may morph into complex regional
pain syndrome.
![Page 40: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Prevention Strategies
• Do not play two sports teams in the same season (especially soccer, lacrosse)
• Avoid excessive running in cleats• Allow 2-3 days off from sport per week• Consider taking 1 week off

Prevention Strategies II• Consider switching positions: ie. Catcher to
outfield-midfield to defense• Do not premedicate with antiinflammatories• Do not play with a limp
![Page 42: Apophyseal Injuries:Growth Related Musculoskeletal Issues - Westchester Health Pediatrics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081605/587dab8f1a28abae2f8b4d17/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
