Highlights the roentgenographic findings and early symptoms of chondrolysis following SCFE to aid in early detection.
May aid early chondrolysis detection post-SCFE; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.
Chondrolysis of the hip following slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is reviewed and 3 cases are presented. The roentgenographic findings and early symptoms may serve to warn the radiologist and clinician of the onset of chondrolysis. Chondrolysis without SCFE is rare. Unfortunately the etiology is not well understood, and often the clinical course cannot be altered.
