Join us for an interactive online teaching session focused on paediatric presentations of orthopaedic pathologies for clinical medical students. This session will cover common paediatric orthopaedic conditions, key clinical findings, red-flag presentations not to miss, and practical tips for approaching orthopaedic cases on placement and in exams. Ideal for building confidence in both history taking and examination, this teaching will bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world clinical practice.

Don’t forget to fill out the feedback form after the tutorial—we value your input! And remember, you can access recordings of all past tutorials on our page.

Learning objectives

By the end of the session, participants should be able to identify the various potential causes of limping in a child, spanning from minor injuries to more severe conditions such as hip dysplasia or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
Participants will comprehensively understand and be able to execute the appropriate diagnostic procedures for a limping child, including clinical examination, history taking, and deciding when imaging or laboratory tests are necessary.
Participants should be able to distinguish between normal limping due to injuries/stumbles and abnormal limping that requires urgent medical attention, aiding in prioritizing patient care effectively.
Participants should be equipped with the right skills to communicate effectively with both the pediatric patient and their caregivers, explaining the examination procedures, potential diagnoses, and treatment plans in an empathetic, clear, and concise manner.
By the end of the session, participants should be well-versed in the latest treatment modalities available for different conditions causing limping in children, understanding their indications, benefits, and potential side effects.
