Frequently Asked Questions
Blank
What age groups do you treat in pediatric sports medicine?
We treat children, adolescents and young adults — typically from early childhood through the teenage years. Our pediatric specialists are trained to care for growing bodies and understand how injuries affect development and activity levels.
What types of sports injuries do you commonly see in children?
Some of the most common injuries we treat include growth plate injuries, adolescent anterior knee pain, overuse injuries, fractures, scoliosis and traumatic injuries from sports or play. We also address alignment issues like in-toeing, out-toeing and knock knees.
How is pediatric sports medicine different from adult sports care?
Children’s bones, muscles and joints are still developing, so they require a specialized approach. Our pediatric orthopaedic team uses age-appropriate diagnostics, treatments and recovery plans to ensure your child heals safely without affecting growth or future activity.
What should I do if my child gets injured during a game or practice?
If your child experiences a sports injury, it’s important to have them evaluated by a pediatric orthopaedic specialist as soon as possible. At UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, we offer prompt access to expert care — including diagnostic imaging, evaluation and treatment planning — to help your child recover safely and quickly.
Will my child need surgery for a sports injury?
Not necessarily. Many pediatric injuries can be treated with non-surgical options such as physical therapy, bracing or activity modification. If surgery is needed, our fellowship-trained pediatric orthopaedic surgeons will discuss all options and create a personalized care plan with you.
