Overuse is the primary culprit in most running injuries, with biomechanical factors playing a much smaller role. A review of some of the most common and recalcitrant injuries in adults and adolescents is presented. Discussion of the pathophysiology of tendon injuries, stress fractures of the lower extremities, and apophysitis in adolescents is undertaken, and treatment strategies are proposed. Additionally, non-musculoskeletal events that may be related to a musculoskeletal injury such as exercise-associated amenorrhea and chronic fatigue or depression are reviewed. That running may promulgate osteoarthritis is still controversial. Most studies are limited by their retrospective design. However, the preponderance of data gives insufficient credence to the idea of osteoarthritis as a complication of long-distance running. With regard to treatment, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs appear to play little or no effective role in the management of running injuries.

Although youth sports participation is beneficial on many levels, it is also associated with an increased risk of injury. Risk factors for injury in children and adolescents include the presence of growth cartilage, existence of muscle imbalance, and pressure to compete despite pain and fatigue. Overuse injuries, such as patellofemoral pain, Osgood-Schlatter disease, calcaneal apophysitis, Little League elbow, Little League shoulder, spondylolysis, and osteochondritis dissecans, are common injuries in organized sports. However, proper education, supervision, and training can help reduce the risk of these injuries and facilitate early intervention.

Young athletes are specialising in sports at a younger age, placing the developing musculoskeletal system under considerable stress. Overuse injuries such as apophysitis are chronic in nature and account for a large proportion of musculoskeletal injuries suffered by young athletes; however, with an increased emphasis on success in sport, tendinopathy and fatigue fractures are now being reported with increasing frequency, in the adolescent population. Correct diagnosis and early protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation therapy is critical, along with supervised rehabilitation an expert in paediatric and adolescent sports medicine. Acute traumatic knee injury and ankle sprain account for most acute injuries. Although most are soft tissue in nature, radiography may be useful in specific situations before early initiation of protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation therapy. These injuries will also require follow-up by an expert in paediatric and adolescent sports medicine to confirm the diagnosis and instigate ongoing rehabilitation and/or orthopaedic referral. Many of these injuries are preventable and due consideration should be given to simple prevention strategies.
