Pediatric Multispecialty Conference: The Limping Child

Miami, FL US
March 12, 2019

Limping in children is a common complaint at pediatric offices and in emergency rooms. There are several causes for this condition, but identifying them can be a challenge. In most children, limping is caused by a mild, self-limiting event, such as a contusion, strain or sprain; however, in some cases, a limp can be a sign of a serious or even life-threatening condition. Join us to hear pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Roger Saldana, M.D., describe the most common conditions that manifest with a limp in children, and how to identify when the limp is a life- or limb-threatening condition that requires emergent care for the limping child.
