High School Sports Injuries
Every year, millions of teenagers participate in high school sports — and injuries during training, practices, and competition are quite common.
An injury to a high school athlete can be a significant disappointment for the teen, the family, and the coaches. The pressure to play can lead to decisions that place the athlete at risk of additional injury with long-term effects.
When a sports injury occurs, it is important to quickly seek proper treatment. High school sports injuries can cause problems that require surgery as an adult and may lead to arthritis later in life. To ensure the best possible recovery, athletes, coaches, and parents must follow safe guidelines for returning to the game, match, race, or meet.
