Abstract
Pediatric orthopedic problems often puzzle the primary health provider and worry families. A thorough orthopedic history and examination by the primary care provider is all that is necessary to determine whether a problem requires further evaluation and referral. This article addresses a practical approach to common orthopedic problems, assessment, and management strategies from the specialist perspective. A general description of developmental dysplasia of the hip, foot misalignments, tibial torsion, toe-walking, genu varum (bowlegs), growing pains, sprains and fractures, and the child with a limp is provided. Management strategies before and after orthopedic referral are presented.
