Although slipped capital femoralepiphysis is the most common disorder of the hip in adolescents, the diagnosis is often delayed.
2
The site of the reconstruction, the murine distal femoralepiphysis, is completely cartilaginous and avascular at this stage of development.
3
Background: Children who present with idiopathic slipped capital femoralepiphysis (SCFE) have an increased risk of developing bilateral disease.
4
Radiographs revealed a complex, multifocal and lytic lesion centered in the left proximal femoralepiphysis with involvement of the femoral neck.
5
Results: Juvenile hip osteoarthritis occurred as a consequence of developmental dysplasia of the hip, Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, femoral head necrosis or slipped capital femoralepiphysis.

We undertook a retrospective comparative study of all patients with an unstable slipped capital femoralepiphysis presenting to a single centre between 1998 and 2011.
