Abstract"Limp" is a common complaint of children presenting to the emergency department or physician's office. For most patients presenting with limp, the diagnosis and management can be completed in the physician's office or emergency department by gathering a detailed history, performing a careful physical examination, and requesting a few laboratory and imaging studies. This article reviews common causes of atraumatic limp in children and discusses the evaluation and management of these conditions. [Pediatr Ann. 2015;44(12):548-550, 552-554, 556.]

In this study, we did not find a significant increase in metabolic stress, measured by serum lactate. Using propofol for short-duration procedural sedation may not carry similar risks for propofol infusion syndrome to those for long-duration/high-dose infusion therapy.

Point-of-care ultrasound is an expanding diagnostic tool in the pediatric emergency department. We describe a case of testicular rupture diagnosed by ultrasound at the bedside, which led to prompt surgical intervention and repair.
