  • Title: Arthritis in children.
    Author: Wilkinson RH, Weissman BN.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1988 Nov; 26(6):1247-65. PubMed ID: 3051095.
    Abstract:
    Arthritis in children may be caused by many diseases and disorders. Some processes may be aborted by early diagnosis and treatment. Others may not cause true arthritis until the adult years, with a variable latent period. The spectrum includes congenital malformations, neoplasia (benign and malignant), infection, trauma, hematologic/vascular disorders, and connective tissue diseases. In all instances, early diagnosis is important. The growing skeleton has great potential to remodel if it is given adequate time.
