ABSTRACT
Distance running is a popular youth sport. This systematic review identified and examined the effects of youth distance running and lower extremity musculoskeletal injury. Scientific databases were searched from database inception to May 2020. Two hundred and fifty-eight full texts were screened, with nine articles retained for data extraction. Seven of the studies were case reports or case series. Two case reports involved an apophyseal hip fracture. No correlation was found between running mileage or gender and sustaining an injury. Middle school runners reported fewer injuries than high school runners. Cross country accounted for less than 10% of injuries in youth under 15 compared to other track activities. The main finding was a paucity of research. Available literature suggests youth can participate in distance running with minimal adverse effects. One exception may be increased vulnerability to growth plate injury. Additional research is needed, especially in those under 10, as literature in this population is nonexistent.

La luxación congénita de rodilla (LCR) es una de las alteraciones anatómicas muy poco frecuente, que su diagnóstico se basa en los hallazgos clínicos obtenidos al nacimiento y corroborados con exámenes radiológicos. La evolución y complicaciones que puede acarrear esta patología dependerá del grado de severidad y del momento de la instauración del tratamiento, ya que un tratamiento oportuno conducirá a una movilidad adecuada y un desarrollo sicomotor apropiado. Presentamos un caso observado en nuestro hospital con seguimiento por cinco meses, en donde un diagnóstico y manejo terapéutico precoz, brindo una buena evolución clínica.
Congenital dislocation of the knee (CSF) is one of the very rare anatomical alterations, that its diagnosis is based on the clinical findings obtained at birth and corroborated with radiological examinations. The evolution and complications that can lead to this pathology will depend on the degree of severity and timing of treatment, since timely treatment will lead to adequate mobility and proper psychomotor development. We present a case observed in our hospital with a five-month follow-up, where a diagnosis and early therapeutic management, leading to a good clinical evolution.
