  • Title: Tibia vara and slipped upper femoral epiphysis: is there an association?
    Author: Jamil K, Abdul Rashid AH, Ibrahim S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop B; 2015 Jan; 24(1):46-9. PubMed ID: 25192368.
    Abstract:
    Tibia vara and slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) share a common risk factor, but their relationship is unclear. In both conditions, the patients are usually obese. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only two previous reports in the literature that have described the occurrence of tibia vara and SUFE in three patients. We report a child who was treated for bilateral tibia vara at the age of 3 years and subsequently developed a SUFE at the age of 13 years.
