Musculoskeletal

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a common condition that causes knee pain. It is common in active tamariki (children) and rangatahi (young people). Osgood-Schlatter disease goes away on its own for most tamariki and rangatahi once their bones have stopped growing.

Irritable hip is one of the most common causes of limping in tamariki (children). The medical name for irritable hip is transient synovitis. Irritable hip is not serious and your child will get better with rest and time. 

There are many different types of fractures. Your child's treatment will depend on the type of fracture, and where it is.
