Abstract
|
|
|
|
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a rare disorder of the proximal femur in adolescents. The pathogenesis of SCFE is unclear, but it is believed to be the result of a mechanical insufficiency of the proximal femur physis. SCFE appears to caused by mechanical, endocrinal, and immunological abnormalities. Few cases have reported the SCFE associated with endocrine disorder in the domestic literature, particularly in patients over 20 years old. This paper reports two cases of SCFE associated with hypopituitarism in adults over 20 years old.
