Acute, traumatic hip pain in children is typically caused by transient synovitis, which presents in well-
appearing children who are often febrile and able to ambulate. However, patients with features

What is radial tunnel syndrome
Radial tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the radial nerve where it passes under
the supinator. Although it may cause lateral elbow pain resembling lateral epicondylitis, the tenderness is

How can salter Harris III and IV fractures cause growth long term leg length discrep
The distal tibial growth plate typically closes around age 14 in boys (age 12 in girls), and fractures involving the maturing, partially fused, physis (eg, Salter-Harris type Ill and IV fractures) carry an increased risk for long-term complications. In particular, injury to the growth plate can cause growth arrest and lead to persistent limb-length discrepancy.
