My 15 year old son is complaining of constant pain just below his left knee. He has a encondroma (diagnosed by an orthopedic surgeon in sept/05). He had sustained a fracture just below the knee (jumped down from a 1 metre height which I thought was strange since it's not like he came down hard on his leg. I am concerned that there is something wrong with his bones in his left knee and that he should get further tests done.

Does anyone have advice re: what types of tests he should have done and how to advocate with his family physician to make sure this problem is dealth with.

Thanks so much! Any feedback would be appreciated.
