  • Title: Slipped upper femoral epiphysis: a case of missed diagnosis.
    Author: Maj MK, Ar AH, Das S.
    Journal: Chang Gung Med J; 2011; 34(6 Suppl):13-6. PubMed ID: 22490452.
    Abstract:
    A slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) is a known hip disorder in adolescents in which the proximal femoral epiphysis slips and displaces relative to the metaphysis. We report an obese 12-year-old boy who presented with acute pain in the left hip after a fall. He was otherwise healthy with no prior joint pain. Pelvic radiography was misread twice before a second fall led to a severe SUFE.
