  • Title: Neonatal proximal femoral epiphysiolysis.
    Author: Wojtowycz M, Starshak RJ, Sty JR.
    Journal: Radiology; 1980 Sep; 136(3):647-8. PubMed ID: 7403541.
    Abstract:
    The authors pressent two cases of proximal femoral epiphysiolysis (PFE) in neonates. Radiographs show superolateral displacement of the proximal femoral metaphysis in relation to a normal acetabulum, which differentiates PFE from a congenital hip dislocation. Early diagnosis and treatment of PFE can prevent coxa vara.
