slipped capital femoral epiphysis - break in growth plate in head of thigh bone

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a medical term referring to a fracture through the epiphyseal growth plate. more

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a medical term referring to a fracture through the epiphyseal growth plate.

The capital (head of the femur) should sit squarely on the femoral neck. Abnormal movement along the growth plate results in the slip.

Often this condition will present in obese prepubescent males, especially young black males, and sometimes females with an insidious onset of thigh or knee pain with a painful limp. Hip motion will be limited, particularly internal rotation. The Centers for Disease Control offers a body mass index (BMI) calculator to help you determine your risk for obesity. less
