  • Title: Gigantism associated with slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
    Author: Unnikrishnan AG, Agrawal NK, Reddy DV, Kumar R, Singh SK.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2003 Aug; 51():826-7. PubMed ID: 14651152.
    Abstract:
    The etiology of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is unknown, though hormonal as well as mechanical factors have been implicated. We report a case of gigantism who presented with SCFE. This case provides an insight into the genesis of SCFE, which in this case was related to growth hormone excess and sex-hormone deficiency.
