Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Diagnostic Algorithms

Background:

  • Pediatric back pain is a frequent complaint.
  • Effective evaluation relies on detailed history, physical examination, and systematic work-up.
  • Identifying the cause is crucial for appropriate treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an algorithmic approach for assessing pediatric back pain.
  • To provide a comprehensive review of prevalence, differential diagnoses, and management.
  • To aid physicians in the diagnostic process for pediatric back pain.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive literature search conducted in PubMed.
  • Gathered articles on prevalence, risk factors, diagnostic tools, differential diagnoses, and management.
  • Focused on identifying key components for a systematic evaluation.

Main Results:

  • Pediatric back pain is common, with most cases being non-specific and self-limiting.
  • Differential diagnoses include inflammatory, neoplastic, infectious, and mechanical causes.
  • Sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and vigorous physical activity increase risk; an algorithm was proposed for diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • A structured diagnostic strategy is essential for pediatric back pain.
  • This approach minimizes costs, unnecessary tests, and patient/family anxiety.
  • Early diagnosis and proper treatment are facilitated by a well-defined strategy.
