causing limp in child 4-10 years old
trauma infectious osteochondroses neoplasms:leukemia inflammatory: juvenile idiopathic arthritis
causes of limp in child 10-18 y.o
trama: slipped capital femoral epiphysis neoplasm infectious: lyme and gonococcal microtrauma tarsal coalition
+ L trendelenberg
AB ductors lower extremity weak
L AB ductors challenged
slipped capital femoral epiiphysis
femoral head falls off
imaging for hip pain
frog leg XR b/l
SCFE
overweight boys
endocrine disorders
acute
subacute/chronic
scale of SCFE
mild: 1-1/3 slip 0-30 degrees
mod 1/3-2/3 slip 30-60
severe: 2/3- complete slip 60-90
Tx SCFE
stabilize femoral head
surgically
good prognosis
risk avascular necrosis
OMT SCFE
great
before after and long term
improve vascular and lymphatic circulation
improve muscular tone
methods to balance tone in jiont
counterstrain!
BLT
tender warm nodules over ant superior aspect tibias b/l
osgood schlatter
imaging for osgood schaltter
lateral plain XR to see if tibial avulsion
Tx osgood schlatter
OMT is great tibial rotation and hip restriction so balance quads hamstrings ICE NSAIDs when severe conservative
