7.
Physical Examination
• Extremities: Right leg external rotation, no
wound, no edema, limit ROM due to pain,
neurovascular intact
• Other extremities are within normal limit
Etiology
• The etiologyof SCFE is thought to be
multifactorial and may include obesity,
growth surges, and, less commonly,
endocrine disorders
• Related endocrine disorders include
hypothyroidism, growth hormone
supplementation, hypogonadism, and
panhypopituitarism
17.
Presentation
•The most commonsymptoms of SCFE
are limping and pain that is poorly
localized to the hip, groin, thigh, or
knee
•Limited internal rotation of the hip is
the most telling sign in the diagnosis of
SCFE
Management
•Avoid moving orrotating the leg. The
patient should not be allowed to walk.
•Provide analgesia and immediate
orthopaedic referral if the diagnosis is
suspected.
•The initial goals of treatment are to
prevent slip progression and avoid
complications.
Complications
•Avascular necrosis
•It isa serious complication associated
with severe displacement and fixation
with more than one screw. Avascular
necrosis often leads to advanced and
early degenerative osteoarthritis
24.
Complications
•Chondrolysis
•Chondrolysis is theacute loss of
articular cartilage, which causes
joint stiffness and pain. It is usually
reported as a complication of
surgical treatment of SCFE.
