Back pain in childhood and adolescence is not uncommon in general practice. Persistent or severe pain, particularly when accompanied by tenderness, restriction of movement and hamstring spasm, should promote an energetic search for the cause. Among the more useful diagnostic tools--now firmly established and often providing early localisation--is the bone scan. No less essential than before are patience in taking a history and a thorough physical examination as preliminaries to early and accurate diagnosis.
在普通医疗实践中,儿童和青少年背痛并不罕见。持续性或重度疼痛,尤其是伴有压痛、活动受限和腘绳肌痉挛时,应积极寻找病因。骨扫描是目前已被牢固确立且常能实现早期定位的较为有用的诊断工具之一。耐心询问病史和进行全面体格检查作为早期准确诊断的前提条件,其重要性不亚于以往。
