Orthopedic Injuries in Youth Ice Hockey Athletes During Peak Height Velocity: A Review

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to review the literature on orthopedic injuries in youth ice hockey athletes, particularly focusing on those during their peak height velocity (PHV), to understand the mechanisms and pathology of these injuries. They find that adolescents in this growth phase are at heightened risk due to factors such as skeletal immaturity, muscle imbalances, and increased physical demands of the sport. The study highlights the importance of recognizing these growth-related risk factors to inform injury prevention strategies and enhance athlete safety.
