  • Title: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis with hypothyroidism treated by nonoperative method.
    Author: Jayakumar S.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1980 Sep; (151):179-82. PubMed ID: 7418302.
    Abstract:
    Patients receiving growth hormone or thyroid hormone are likely to develop a slipped capital femoral epiphysis during the period of spurt in growth. While pin fixation of these hips has been the popular method of treatment, it is possible to treat Grade I slips successfully by nonoperative methods provided that protection from weight-bearing is maintained until fusion of the epiphysis is complete.
