			Limp Leo Leonidas MD, FAAP Warning: This section is for my medical students. If you are a "worrier" type or a very anxious parent, please talk to your clinician about your child's problem or symptoms, rather than reading this differential diagnosis. Common causes of limp that many primary care physicians first think about are: septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, toxic synovitis, slipped femoral capital epiphyses, leukemia, and bone tumors. Others in this section are not common but still should be listed.
