Introduction: An acute limp implies an underlying pathology that causes disruption of the standard gait pattern.

Diagnosis And History Of Disease: The differential diagnosis of a limp includes trauma, infection neoplasia, inflammatory, congenital, neuromuscular or developmental disorders. History of disease and clinical examination present first steps in adequate evaluation.

[Osteosynthesis with Kirschner wires in the treatment of dislocation fractures of the forearm in children].

Introduction: Forearm fractures make 13-18% of all injuries of the upper extremities in children. Most of them are older than 6 years. The degree of tolerance is different but children younger than 8 years can tolerate 15-20 degrees of angulation, 45 degrees of inadequate rotation and total displacement.

[Undescended testes and paratesticular anomalies].

In the field of developmental paratesticular anomalies there are numerous questions without answers. The goal of this paper is to give some information on embryology of normal and disturbed development parallely, as well as to describe the occurrence of certain anomalies with a special review on anomalies of epididymis and deferent ductus considering their importance in urology. Results and statistical data from our work have been reported.

Hip scintigraphy in the diagnosis and evaluation of morbus Perthes.

During this research the role and significance of hip scintigraphy in diagnosis and evaluation of Perthes disease were examined. Three phase scan was applied in 35 patients clinically suspected of Perthes' disease. There were no false positive findings in 20 patients who did not suffer from Perthes' disease and all 15 who suffered from disease were scintigraphically positive.

[Ultrasonic diagnosis of transitory synovitis of the hip joint in children].

The most common cause of a limp in childhood is transitory synovitis of the hip. At the Paediatric Surgery Clinic in Novi Sad, in the period from 1989 to 1991, 58 children were treated for hip transitory synovitis and the diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasonic finding of the exudate in the joint. The ultrasonic investigation of the hips was performed by using Siemens and Kretz scanners equipped with 5 MHz linear or sector transducers.
