Abstract
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.
