Video Summary

Summary:<br />The first video discusses Salter-Harris fractures, apophysitis, and osteochondritis dissecans in children. It covers the types of fractures, imaging techniques, treatment, causes, risk factors, and treatment options for these injuries in pediatric sports medicine. Proper diagnosis and treatment are emphasized.<br /><br />The second video focuses on managing pediatric and adolescent concussions. It explains that concussions are brain injuries caused by head trauma, even without loss of consciousness. The severity is determined by symptom duration. Rest and avoiding activities that worsen symptoms is essential for recovery. Returning to play too soon increases the risk of further injury. Safe return requires a normal neurologic exam, cognitive testing, and absence of symptoms. Complications, hydration, sleep, and avoidance of caffeine are discussed.<br /><br />Credits:<br />The presenters and speakers in both videos are not specified.
