Prévention des lésions des cartilages de croissance des doigts chez les jeunes grimpeurs

The training of injured climbers had known risk factors for overuse injuries and epiphyseal fractures. Furthermore, there was a lack of knowledge among youth and coaches about: 1) the use of risky methods; 2) epiphyseal stress fractures of the fingers and their consequences. To prevent these fractures, training and competitions should be adapted to children and an information campaign should be organized for families and coaches.
