?: @ 14 there may b hip or knee problems. If the knee is locked as in not able 2 straighten it out fully or locked in 90 of flexion it could b knee. With hx of thigh pain it may b hip in origin. If she's a cherubic, young appearing 4 her age epiphyseal slip is possible. No fever=no infection usually. She should b able 2 use crutches in any case without causing injury. Get appt.Asap or er. Hip may=kne.
