Muscle and tendon injuries in children and adolescents

Year 2004, Volume: 38 , 37 - 46, 11.09.2006

Abstract

The pediatric athlete with open physeal plates is more susceptible to growth plate injuries and avulsion fractures than to ligament and muscle-tendon injuries that most often occur in adults. Muscle contusions and strains are common injuries in young athletes. Although they are rare in the early and middle stages of childhood, they become quite common during the growth spurt period. Healing of muscle tissues is much more rapid in children than that in adults, but it must be ensured that full motion and full strength are regained before returning to sports activities, because recurrences of injuries may result in more serious complications such as myositis ossificans. On the other hand, acute tendinous injuries are quite rare in children; however, repetitive submaximal stress may lead to overuse syndromes. This article reviews the basic anatomy and function of skeletal muscle and discusses the physiopathology of muscle-tendon injuries, and the methods of treatment and prevention, with particular focus on the growing child.

Çocukluk ve ergenlik döneminde kas ve tendon yaralanmaları

Year 2004, Volume: 38 , 37 - 46, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Büyüme plakları halen açık olan genç sporcular, büyüme plağı yaralanmaları ve avulsiyon kırıklarına, yetişkinlerde sık görülen bağ ve kas-tendon yaralanmalarından daha duyarlıdır. Kas kontüzyonları ve kas gerginliği genç sporcularda sık görülen spor yaralanmalarıdır. Kas yaralanmaları erken ve orta çocukluk döneminde nadir görülürken, ergenlik döneminde belirgin bir artış gösterirler. Çocuklarda kas dokusu iyileşmesi erişkinlere göre çok daha hızlıdır; fakat spora geri dönüş, ancak fonksiyonel hareketin kazanılması ve kasın eski gücüne ulaşmasıyla mümkün olur. Tekrarlayan yaralanmalar myositis ossifikans gibi daha ciddi durumlara yol açabilir. Öte yandan, çocuklarda akut tendon yaralanmaları oldukça nadirdir; fakat tekrarlayan submaksimal yüklenmelere bağlı olarak, aşırı kullanım yaralanmaları gelişebilir. Bu yazıda, çocuklarda iskelet kasının temel anatomisi ve fonksiyonu, kas-tendon yaralanmalarının patofizyolojisi; bu yaralanmaları önleme yolları ve tedavi yöntemleri gözden geçirildi.
