Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Children age 9 months -16 years old who attend the Emergency Department (ED) of the Sheffield Children's Hospital for an acute (less than 48 hours) limp. Inclusion is subject to both the patient and carer having read (or being read to in very young children) the information sheets and both the patient and carer consenting to participate.
Exclusion
- Children with multiple injuries (e.g. those involved in serious car accidents), or those who have difficulty understanding the nature of the study (e.g. non-native English speakers, those with disabilities impairing their understanding of the study etc.) will be excluded. Patients/carers in whom consent has not been obtained or refused will also be excluded.
- Children who attend the ED with safeguarding concerns or in whom child protection suspicions arise during the consultation will be excluded. These children have a separate assessment process which would be significantly different to the study cohort.
