Hip pain in children

J Murtagh. Aust Fam Physician. 1992 Jul.

Abstract

Children who present with a limp and pain in the hip, anterior thigh and the knee can have a serious disorder of the hip. The age at presentation tends to provide a guide to the possible problem, such as a slipped upper femoral epiphysis and a stress fracture of the femoral neck in adolescents.
