Abstract
The pediatric skeleton has abundant cartilage and thick periosteum shield that protect the immature athlete. Injuries can still result from excessive overuse or overt high energy trauma. This article will focus on injuries about the pediatric wrist primarily distal radius physeal stress syndrome, ulnar abutment syndrome, scaphoid fractures, and distal radius growth arrest. The diagnosis of these entities along with treatment options will be discussed. Surgical techniques to remedy these difficult problems will be highlighted. Published outcomes after the various surgical procedures will also be reviewed.
