  • Title: Slipped capital femoral epiphyses complicating renal osteodystrophy: a report of three cases.
    Author: Goldman AB, Lane JM, Salvati E.
    Journal: Radiology; 1978 Feb; 126(2):333-9. PubMed ID: 622478.
    Abstract:
    Three adolescents with bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphyses complicating renal disease are presented. In one case, the severity of the deformities necessitated total hip replacement. Pathological specimens were available for evaluation. In all 3 cases, epiphysiolysis was accompanied by severe subperiosteal reabsorption along the medial aspect of the femoral neck, widening of the cartilaginous growth plate, and coxa vara. The radiographic diagnosis of a minimally displaced femoral epiphysis may precede the clinical symptoms. Early recognition of this complication is important, since the treatment of choice is prophylactic surgical stabilization before disabling deformities occur.
