Since Ambrose Paré in 1572 initially described what is believed to be the first case of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), a virtual plethora of unproven theories has evolved in the ensuing years. The most currently popular theories embrace a framework of biomechanical events versus
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common hip problem in adolescents, usually individuals between 8 and 15 years old. Because of the frequent finding of growth abnormalities in affected children, various endocrine disturbances have been reported as the cause of the disease. In a prospective study, plasma levels of T3, T4, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), cortisol, testosterone, growth hormone, and somatomedin-C were tested in 20 consecutive adolescent patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in an effort to identify any occult endocrinopathy. All
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis usually occurs in children going through a pubertal growth spurt, possibly because the immature proximal femoral physis is unable to bear the shear stress. It commonly occurs in adolescents between 10 and 16 years. Slipped capital femoral epiphysis in adults is
Several maturation factors relative to growth and epiphyseal development were reviewed retrospectively in 191 patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis, including bone age, height and weight, thyroid functions, sex hormone levels, and growth hormone levels. Seventy-one percent of 138 patients
The potential influence of hormonal imbalance on the development of slipped capital femoral epiphysis was assessed through a prospective clinical study. The serum levels of T3, T4, thyroid-stimulating hormone, testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, follicle-stimulating hormone,
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a rare complication of growth hormone therapy. We report on a young man with pituitary insufficiency, diagnosed and treated with growth hormone at the age of 14 9/12. The patient withdrew from treatment after 6 months of growth hormone therapy without significant
