Abstract des Autors
This article presents an overview of sports-related injuries of the lower limb in children, with emphasis on management. The special injury-related conditions of childhood, epidemiology, and the particular pattern of injuries are discussed. Because the increased participation of children in sports will continue - and permanent damage will continue to be a risk - the authors stress preventive measures, such as the performance of stretching exercises with "warm" muscles and the gradual increase in activities, and the responsibility of parents, coaches, and healthcare professionals for safe training and minimizing the potential for injuries.
