| Â | American Family Physician: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis - includes patient information |
 | | The unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis behaves much more like an acute fracture and has a poorer prognosis because it carries an increased risk of avascular necrosis. | | | Children with a minimal slipped capital femoral epiphysis experience only slight loss of internal rotation of the hip and have pain only at the extremes of motion. | | | It is the most common hip disorder in adolescents, but because of the anatomic innervation of the hip and the referred nature of the pain, it often presents with groin, thigh or knee pain rather than, hip pain. |

| | Your doctor will consider how long your child has been limping, his or her age, and whether there is any focal pain or stiffness to direct the investigation. | | | Your child should report any pain in the hip or knee immediately so that treatment can begin before any significant deformity develops. | | | Children with a slipped epiphysis will often complain of knee pain referred from the hip area. |

| | Once growth of the child ceases, the join fuses and the condition is halted. | | | This is also associated with major slips and surgical replacement of the epiphysis. | | | In this condition, the epiphysis remains in its normal position within the hip socket. |

| | An AP view may not be sufficient to reveal the slippage; a frog lateral view is often necessary to show the slippage better. | | | There are controversies regarding the treatment and also regarding the prophylactic pinning of the contralateral hip. | | | In girls it tends to occur at the same frequency (9-18% as an initial presentation) and the other side is affected within 6 months of the initial presentation. |
