  • Title: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis associated with peripheral osteoarticular tuberculosis.
    Author: Farrington DM, Melini de Paz F, Moral Pinteño JC.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop B; 2001 Apr; 10(2):96-100. PubMed ID: 11360787.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of slipped capital femoral epiphysis that developed associated with a peripheral osteoarticular tuberculosis lesion located at the proximal metaphysis of the femur in contact with the growth plate in a 12-year-old boy. Multiple factors have been involved in slipped capital femoral epiphysis pathogenesis, but we believe an osteoarticular tuberculosis lesion is not a common finding as a possible etiological factor causing weakness of the growth plate and, therefore, the femoral head displacement.
