| Popis: | A child presenting with a limp can present a diagnostic challenge to pediatricians. Clinical presentation, age, and history all contribute to the initial differential diagnosis; however, imaging plays a key role in the ultimate diagnosis, and the correct imaging study is essential to save time and health care expenses. This article will present a few of the more common causes of a limp and the recently updated imaging recommendations from the American College of Radiology to aid in final diagnosis.
