Abstract
Children with open physeal plates are more susceptible to growth plate injuries and avulsion fractures rather than the ligament and muscle-t endon injuries that most often occur in adults. The basic anatomy and function of skeletal muscle are reviewed, followed by a discussion of the pathophysiology and treatment of muscle-tendon injuries in the ped iatric athlete.
