Slipped capital femoral epiphysis following contralateral infantile Blount's disease.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and Blount's disease are reported to have a common etiology, but there is only one report describing two cases in which adolescent Blount's disease coexisted with SCFE. In this article, we describe a case of SCFE following contralateral infantile Blount's disease in an 11-year-old boy. This report is the first known case of SCFE associated with infantile Blount's disease. In this patient, pelvic tilt caused by leg length discrepancy associated with infantile Blount's disease and possible general weakness of the growth plate may be related to the occurrence of SCFE.
