What’s your Diagnosis?

In this feature, AAOS Now publishes a series of images, challenging readers to diagnose the condition depicted. The images for this month’s challenge were submitted by resident member Ben Grear, MD. He provides the following patient information:

“The patient is a 4-year-old girl who has been limping for 3 weeks. The patient’s mother denies any trauma. Examination of the left foot reveals tenderness over the dorsomedial and plantomedial midfoot. Otherwise, the exam is unremarkable.”

What’s your diagnosis? E-mail your decision and rationale to aaoscomm@aaos.org
