RESUMO
In August 2016, a group including sport medicine clinicians, researchers, and a bioethicist met in Vail, Colorado to discuss regenerative medicine and its potential role in youth sports injuries. There was consensus that a call to action is urgently needed to understand the current evidence base, the risks and rewards, and future directions of research and clinical practice for regenerative medicine therapies in youth sports. We present here a summary of our meeting, which was supported by the National Youth Sports Health and Safety Institute (NYSHSI), a partnership between the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and Sanford Health. The group's goal is to educate practitioners and the public, and to pioneer a means of accumulating meaningful clinical data on regenerative medicine therapies in pediatric and adolescent athletes.

In brief Sports medicine physicians see brief overuse, chronic, or recurrent injuries in athletes every day. However, some patients who have symptoms consistent with these injuries actually have underlying disease. Three case studies examine athletes who initially seemed to have overuse syndromes or recurrent chronic injuries. The eventual diagnoses were rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and gout.
