Abstract
|
|
|
Slipped femoral capital epiphysis is the condition in which the femoral head begins to slip gradually off the. femoral neck.
After first discription of Ambrose Pare (1572), many cases have been reported in Europe and America, and extremely rare in Korea.
The author reports here a case of the neglected slipped femoral capital epiphysis for more than 4 weeks in 16 year old boy with marked pain on walking. Physical examination showed his body stature to be normal and his genital organs to have no abnormalities. His left hip showed a positive patrick´s test with limited range of motion in all direction, especially abduction and internal rotation.
After skeletal traction for 2 weeks, an anatomical repositioning with gentle manipulation was maintained by 3 Knowles pins, and in 18 months later postoperatively, he resumed full bearing on his left hip with full range of motion and no pain.
