Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]
Radial epiphyseal stress reaction is a common overuse injury affecting skeletally immature athletes engaged in high-impact sports[1]. It is particularly common among gymnasts, thus it is also known as the ‘gymnast’s wrist’. The gymnast's wrist involves the distal radial physes (growth plates), which is located at the end of the long bone[1] where secondary ossification centres for growth and development occur [2]. The growth plates are especially susceptible to injuries when they are repetitively loaded in young athletes.
