Abstract

Background: Overuse injuries develop gradually over time without a specific traumatic event. They are more commonly reported as the cause of lower limb injuries compared to acute incidents. The incidence of overuse injuries varies among different sport types but comparing them across sports or establishing specific links is challenging due to methodological heterogeneity. Youth sports' growing popularity in the region has led to a rise in sports-related overuse injuries. Raising awareness is crucial for proper management and prevention of overuse injuries in this age groups.

Case Summary: Hence, we present a case report concerning a 10-year-old boy who experienced an overuse injury in a relatively uncommon area, specifically the femoral head.

Conclusion: Our intention is to contribute to the existing knowledge and comprehension of such injuries.
