Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Strange and Schafermeyer's Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 4e 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.
