A member asked:

What type of doctor do i take my 14yr old if she hurt her knee playing soccer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Start with PCP: Your kids doc should be able to assess the situation & order any basic tests to define the injury involved. If needed , a referral to a sports medicine specialist or orthopedic surgeon might be needed but many prefer to evaluate the patient after initial swelling has gone down.
