For the second episode in the series on growth and maturation, listeners are treated to the expertise of host James Boyd, a physiotherapist at the University of Bath. Within this episode he discusses the development of bones through maturation, and links this to common adolescent injuries (traction apophyseal injuries) such as Osgood Schlatters. Below are a few sources James makes reference to within the episode. Feel free to delve deeper into these for more information: -Bruns W & Maffulli N (2000) Lower limb injuries in children in sports.
