Adolescent Injuries

The clinic has long since had a special interest in adolescent injuries, not least from it’s long association with the students of Radley College, Abingdon School and St Helen’s and St Catherines. ‘Children are not simply miniature adults’ is a quote often heard when dealing with adolescent injuries, and this certainly holds true in our experience. Understanding how growth and physical development impacts on injuries and pain for this patient group is essential in avoiding long-term complications and knowing when to investigate further.
