What does limping child mean?
It is defined as any deviation or asymmetry from a normal gait
pattern for the childs age.

A limp at one hospital emergency department
was the presenting complaint in 2 % of children.
It occurs twice as commonly in boys as in girls
Epidemiology

The gait cycle is divided to two phases:
The stance phase: 60% of all gait cycle.Heal >> foot >> toes
The swing phase: 40% of normal gait cycle.

The diagnosis of the cause of a limp is often madebased on history, physical exam findings,
laboratory tests, and radiological examination.
If a limp is associated with pain it should be
urgently investigated, while non-painful limps canbe approached and investigated more gradually.
Young children have difficult determining thelocation of leg pain thus in this population knee
pain equals hip pain. A SCFE can usually be excluded on an X-ray of the
hips. A ultrasound or xray guided aspiration of thehip joint maybe required to rule out an infectious
process within the hip.

The history for a child with a limp should be taken in details asfollowing:
Onset, duration and progression? (acute-chronic) Recent trauma and mechanism?
Associated pain and its characteristics? Accompanying weakness?
Time of day when limp is worse? ( rheumatologic-malignancy) Can the child walk or bear weight?
Has the limp interfered with normal activities? (Severity) Presence of systemic symptoms like fever, weight loss? Do not forget the medical history, BINDbirth history,
immunization history, nutritional history, and developmental
history Also include the other essentialsdrug history , allergies and
history

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
Special Conditions
Transient Synovitis
OsgoodSchlatter syndrome
7/31/2019 Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip1
10/75
Definition: Is a self-limiting condition in which there is an inflammation of theinner lining (the synovium) of the capsuleof the hip joint. Transient synovitis usually affects children between three and tenyears old. It is the most common cause of sudden hip pain and limp in youngchildren. Boys are affected two to four times as often as girls.
Causes:1- Unknown.2- Recent viral infection(most commonly an upper respiratory tractinfection)
3- Trauma
Transient Synovitis

5/23/12
Symptoms:
1- pain in the hip, thigh, groin or knee on the affected side.2-There may be a limp (or abnormal crawling in infants) with or
without pain.
3-In small infants, the presenting complaint can be unexplained
crying (for example, when changing a nappy). 4-Some children may have a slightly raised temperature; high
fever and general malaise point to other, more serious conditions.
Signs:
1- the child typically holds the hip slightly bent, turned outwards andaway from the middle line (flexion, external rotation and abduction).
2- Active and passive movements may be limited because of pain,especially abduction and internal rotation.
3-The hip can be tender to palpation.

Inflammatory parameters in the blood may beslightly raised (these include erythrocyte
sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein and whiteblood cell count), but raised inflammatory markers
are strong predictors of other more seriousconditions such as septic Arthritis
2-X-ray imaging
3-ultrasound scan of the hip can easily demonstrate
fluid inside the joint capsule4-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan) that can
differentiate between septic arthritis and transientsynovitis (for example, signal intensityof adjacent

(also known as tibial tubercle apophyseal traction injury) is anirritation of the patellar tendon at the tibial tuberosity
The condition is usually self-limiting and is caused by stress on the
patellar tendon that attaches the quadriceps muscle at the front ofthe thigh to the tibial tuberosity This can cause multiple subacute avulsion fractures along withinflammation of the tendon, leading to excess bone growth in the
tuberosity and producing a visible lump which can be very painfulwhen hit.

Sign and symptoms of Osgood-
Schlatter disease include: Pain, swelling and tenderness at the bony
prominence on the upper shinbone, just below thekneecap
Knee pain that worsens with activity especiallyrunning, jumping and climbing stairs and improves
with rest
Tightness of the surrounding muscles, especiallythe thigh muscles (quadriceps)

How is Osgood-Schlatter disease
diagnosed?
the disease can be diagnosed clinically basedon the typical symptoms and physical
examination findings.
X-ray testing is sometime performed inorder to document the status of the
calcification at the insertion of kneecap(patellar) tendon. Sometimes a tiny piece of
the bone of the tibia actually is pulled away

(SCFE) is a hip problem that starts if the epiphysis (growing end) of the
femur slips from the ball of the hip joint. SCFE may develop in
one leg or it may occur in both legs but The left hip is affectedmore commonly than the right
Males have 2.4 times the risk compared with females.
Risk factors Mechanical: local trauma, obesity.
Inflammatory conditions: neglected septic arthritis.
Hypothyroidism,hypopituitarism, growth hormone deficiency,pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Anteroposterior and 'frog-leg' lateral X-rays showwidening of epiphyseal line or displacement of the
femoral head.
Earliest findings include globular swelling of the
joint capsule, irregular widening of the epiphysealline and decalcification of the epiphyseal border of
the metaphysis.
Epiphysis normally extends slightly cephalad to the
upper border of the femoral neck. Small amounts of slippage can be detected by the
epiphyseal edge, becoming flush with the superiorborder of the neck.

No medical therapy is available for the treatmentof slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) except
symptomatic pain relief. Medications may includeacetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs, or narcotics, depending on the physician'spreference
Possible Complications
This disorder is associated with a greater risk ofosteoarthritis later in life
Chondrolysis (degeneration of the articularcartilage),
avascular necrosis of the epiphysis,.

Limping in children is never normal. Physiciansproviding care to children need to be
knowledgeable regarding the diagnosis andmanagement of limping. A systematic approach
should include a thorough history and physicalexamination, and, if necessary, appropriate imagingstudies and laboratory testing. A timely diagnosis
will result in a more optimal outcome

Introduction
Irritable hip is a common childhoodcondition that causes symptoms such as hippain and limping.
Affect boys and girls of any age. Affects
boys twice than girls. It's most often seen in boys aged 4-10.
Usually a mild condition & don't requirespecific treatment.

Symptoms
Symptoms for less than a week Main symptom is pain in one of the hips. The pain
isn't usually severe, but it may prevent the childfrom placing weight on the affected leg, and it maycause them to limp.
Children unable to speak, the only noticeablesymptom may be them crying at night.
Slightly higher temperature than normal.

Examination
the affected leg tends to be held in theposition of greatest ease, typically, one offlexion, abduction and slight externalrotation.
Movement is restricted especiallyextension and adduction which bothincrease intracapsular pressure.
The child is otherwise well.
