Abstract

Hip apophyseal injuries in young athletes are a fairly rare problem, and often go unrecognized by health professionals. These injuries can be extremely painful, and may take months to heal. Timely, accurate diagnosis is imperative so proper treatment can be initiated. In some cases, surgery is required.
