AB The  classic  presentation  of  slipped  capital  femoral  epiphysis  (SCFE)  is  that  of  an  obese  adolescent  with  nonradiating,  dull,  aching  pain  in  the  hip,  groin,  thigh,  or  knee  without  a  history  of  trauma.Patients  with  SCFE  may  also  present  with  isolated  thigh  or  knee  pain.The  traditional  classification  of  SCFE  is  based  on  intensity  and  duration  of  symptoms  into  four  patterns  of  presentation:  pre-slip,  acute,  acute  on  chronic,  and  chronic.Imaging  requires  both  lateral  and  AP  views  of  the  hip.The  goals  of  treatment  of  SCFE  are  to  prevent  further  slipping  by  stabilizing  the  diseased  physis  and  preventing  further  growth  complications.
