Most common injuries in FS

A touchy subject.

What are the most common injuries in figure skating and the most appropriate remedy to them? Rest not always 'being allowed' due to trainers' stubbornness and lack of real knowledge in paediatrics and general sports health medicine ...

Pre-pubescent boys and girls, not yet fully trained and experienced: falls, concussions, broken bones, teeth etc? Inherited defects to muscle-skeleton system?

Young adolescents, full intensity training and experienced but still growing in spurts and not fully formed yet: growth plate injuries to tibia's hip joint etc?, Osgood Slatter's? Tendon, ligament and their adhesion to the bone? Spraining of ankles, knees w/o proper resting time leading to early degradation? Spinal column due to torsion and no fully developed obliques and other core muscles? Pelvis due to the asymmetry in leg use??

Young adults, fully grown, usually lower training intensity but fully experienced: over-use injuries? General wear and tear and subsequent degradation?

Hopefully some authoritative answers from sports physicians, therapists etc so we can learn something

I know a bunch of ice dancers and synchro skaters with the most common issues being knee pain, osgood slatter's, hip and ankles. Basically anywhere in the lower body with joints/growth plates tend to cause issues during puberty. In my experience PT usually helps but I know some instances where skaters have needed knee or back surgery and had to quit.

I've had the full range: Knees, hips, back, shoulder, ankles.

I skated freestyle and dance: Elite and currently pro.

It varies. And I also wouldn't say that trainers don't know what they are doing. Many skaters have a group of doctors and specialists they see to maintain and maintenance their health.

I guess the more serious injuries depend on the level, age, and discipline, but by far the most common of all injuries are plain ol' bruises, cuts, and sprains.

Just want to chime in that Osgood-Schlatter is an underlying condition and NOT an injury. The jumping in figure skating can aggravate it, as can jumping in gymnastics, or basketball or any other spot. And kids grow out of Osgood-Schlatter, it's not life-long.
