  • Title: Apophyseal avulsion fracture of the greater trochanter after slipped capital femoral epiphysis: a case report.
    Author: Ceroni D, De Coulon G, De Rosa V, Kaelin A.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Belg; 2004 Dec; 70(6):619-22. PubMed ID: 15669468.
    Abstract:
    A 13-year-old boy sustained an avulsion fracture of the left greater trochanter eight months after surgical stabilisation of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis on the same side. In this specific case, avulsion of the greater trochanter after slipping of the capital femoral epiphysis may have been facilitated by weakening of the trochanteric physis.
