AB  - A  careful  medical  history  and  physical  examination  are  the  cornerstones  of  effective  clinical  practice  when  caring  for  children  and  adolescents.1  The  frequency,  format,  contents,  and  usefulness  of  a  sports  preparticipation  evaluation  (SPPE)  in  predicting  and  preventing  morbidity  and  mortality  related  to  sport  participation  have  not  been  validated  by  any  long-term  systematic  research.  Studies  suggest  that  between  0.3%  and  1.3%  of  the  athletes  are  disqualified  from  participation  based  on  SPPE  findings  and  between  3.2%  and  13.9%  of  the  athletes  require  further  evaluation.2  In  the  United  States  all  high  school  athletes  are  required  to  have  an  annual  SPPE.
