[Post-traumatic lower limb pain in children].
Injuries to the lower extremity are frequent. They present as pain, reduction of joint function, alteration in gait. Most of the orthopaedic emergencies for teenagers are related to trauma. For younger children, a history of recent fall is prevalent but the non traumatic orthopaedic conditions are especially important to investigate when the reported injury is minor or when onset of symptoms is delayed.
