Abstract
In brief Overuse injuries can be particularly challenging to manage. An athlete's premature return to athletic activity often results in recurrent and recalcitrant injury. A five-step management plan that includes establishing a pathoanatomic diagnosis, controlling inflammation, promoting healing, increasing fitness, and controlling abusive activity offers athletes optimal opportunity to return successfully to athletic performance.
