Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Growing children and adolescents are susceptible to a number of pathologies and injuries to their lower extremities of varying degrees of severity that in most cases are a source of significant parental anxiety. The diagnosis and management of these conditions can be challenging. Furthermore, a dramatic increase in youth competitive athletic activity, early sport specialization, and year-round training and competition, along with increased awareness about injuries in children, have led to a commensurate increase in the frequency of lower limb trauma in the skeletally immature, such as anterior cruciate ligament tears and patella dislocation.
This Special Issue aims to cover common disorders affecting the hip, the knee, and the foot in order to improve clinical practice in recognizing developmental norms, differentiating physiological from pathological conditions, and identifying the best treatment option available.
Dr. Riccardo D'Ambrosi
Guest Editor
