Pediatric bowling injuries presenting to U.S. emergency departments: a descriptive epidemiologic study

Differences in injury patterns may be attributed to variations in skeletal maturity, physiology, and experience. These results underscore the need for targeted prevention strategies and further research in pediatric bowling.
