Abstract
The child with joint pain is a common presenting complaint in the acute setting. It has a variety of causes from the benign to the life-threatening which can be difficult to tease apart. In this article, we give an overview of some of the more common and concerning causes. We also provide a structured approach to history, examination and investigation for the clinician faced with the undifferentiated atraumatic joint pain in children of different ages.
