However, concerns regarding its safety, particularly those that are orthopedic in nature, have grown alongside its increasing popularity. Growth hormone usage has been reported to predispose patients to a multitude of common orthopedic conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, Legg\u2013Calve\u2013Perthes disease, little league shoulder, Osgood\u2013Schlatter disease, osteochondritis dissecans, scoliosis, Sever\u2019s disease, and slipped femoral capital epiphysis. The pathways by which growth hormone therapy can precipitate orthopedic pathology has been shown to be multifactorial, involving mechanisms such as hormonal changes, growth plate instability, rapid growth, and increased susceptibility to overuse injury. This review examines the orthopedic consequences of growth hormone therapy in pediatric patients by discussing these potential pathophysiologic mechanisms of injury and analyzing subsequent clinical manifestations. By examining processes underlying these complications, we highlight the need for orthopedic surveillance and management in children receiving GHT, particularly those with pre-existing musculoskeletal comorbidities or high levels of physical activity. Our findings underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving co-management by pediatricians, endocrinologists, and orthopedic surgeons to optimize safety and outcomes for these patients. Directions for future research include correlating pathophysiologic mechanisms to injury patterns, investigating long-term complications in recently approved growth hormone therapy indications, and informing clinical guidelines on the management of orthopedic injuries in this patient population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children11111354","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]],"date-time":"2024-11-07T06:41:22Z","timestamp":1730961682000},"page":"1354","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Rising Popularity of Growth Hormone Therapy and Ensuing Orthopedic Complications in the Pediatric Population: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1515-2723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel","family":"Zverev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"New York University Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"},{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, NYU Langone Hospital\u2014Long Island, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9843-0719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary M.","family":"Tenner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York University Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6879-4877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlo","family":"Coladonato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York University Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"},{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, NYU Langone Hospital\u2014Long Island, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meredith","family":"Lazar-Antman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"New York University Grossman Long Island School of Medicine, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"},{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, NYU Langone Hospital\u2014Long Island, Mineola, NY 11501, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yapd.2022.03.005","article-title":"Clinical Indications for Growth Hormone Therapy","volume":"69","author":"Danowitz","year":"2022","journal-title":"Adv.
