Key result
Total hip arthroplasty was described as a treatment to correct deformities associated with neglected and in situ treated slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to portray possible complications of neglected and in situ treated SCFE and describe deformity correction using total hip arthroplasty, alongside a literature review.
Case Report (n=1)
Total hip arthroplasty can be used to correct deformities in patients with neglected and in situ treated slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
We present a case report to portray the possible complications of neglected and insitu treated SCFE, and treatment to enable correction of the deformities using total hip arthroplasty. We also conduct a mini review of literature to revisit the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical evaluation, and radiographic analysis of slipped capital femoral epiphysis. This article also highlights the current literature and recommended treatments for slipped capital femoral epiphysis and sequelae associated with this disorder.
